Abstract
The high electrical output performance of the phononic crystal (PnC)-based piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) system is of great research value in self-powered applications. This work presents the effect of incomplete line defect size on elastic wave energy localization and harvesting. The results show that for a given 7 × 5 supercell when the incomplete line defect reaches the second to sixth layer, the energy localization and harvesting performance show a changing trend of first increasing and then decreasing; when the incomplete line defect reaches the 4th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd, and 6th layers of the supercell, respectively, the performance of PEH systems shows a trend from large to small. Among them, when the incomplete line defect reaches the fourth layer of the supercell, the performance of the PEH system is optimal, and the maximum output voltage and the maximum output electric power are 22.54 V and 12.78 mW, respectively. This work provides valuable insights for improving the performance of PEH devices by using the PnC with incomplete line defects.
