Vibrational piezoelectric energy harvester’s performance using lead zirconate titanate versus lead-free potassium sodium niobate

Piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) is considered as a robust power source, which can power electronic devices by scavenging small magnitudes of energy from ambient vibration. The fundamental advantage of PEH lies in the inherent ability of the piezoelectric material to generate electricity dependi...
