Performing Magnetic Boundary Modulation to Broaden the Operational Wind Speed Range of a Piezoelectric Cantilever-Type Wind Energy Harvester

Small piezoelectric wind-induced vibration energy harvesting systems have been widely studied to provide long-term sustainable green energy for a large number of wireless sensor network nodes. Piezoelectric materials are commonly utilized as transducers because of their ability to produce high output power density and their simple structure, but they are prone to material fracture under large deformation conditions. This paper proposes a magnetic boundary modulated stepped beam wind energy harvesting system. On the one hand, the design incorporates a composite stepped beam with both high- and low-stiffness components, allowing for efficient vibration and electrical energy output at low wind speeds. On the other hand, a magnetic boundary constraint mechanism is constructed to prevent the piezoelectric sheet from breaking due to excessive deformation. Experiments have confirmed that the effective operational wind speed range of the harvester with magnetic boundary constraints is doubled compared to that of the harvester without magnetic boundary constraints. Furthermore, by adjusting the magnetic pole spacing of the boundary, the harvesting system can generate sufficiently high output power under high-wind-speed conditions without damaging the piezoelectric sheet.

Over 10‐W, 2.0‐μm, Broadband, All‐Fiber Amplified Spontaneous Emission Source Based on Spectrum Combination

Herein, Tm‐doped fiber (TDF) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and Ho‐doped fiber ASE to realize a high‐power, 2.0‐μm‐broadband, all‐fiber ASE source are combined. By in‐band pumping the Ho‐doped fiber ASE with TDF ASE, an output power of 17.7 W is achieved. Subsequently, a 1500–1970/1980–2200‐nm wavelength division multiplexer is utilized to combine the Tm‐doped and Ho‐doped fiber ASE sources. The combined ASE source exhibits a maximum output power of 10.9 W, a full width at half maximum of 67 nm, a spectral range of 1910–2086 nm, a root–mean–square power fluctuation of 0.17% in 30 min, no self‐pulsing, and no self‐excited oscillation. To the best of knowledge, such a high output power has not been previously reported for Ho‐doped fiber ASE sources and 2.0‐μm‐broadband all‐fiber ASE sources. Thus, spectrum combination can effectively yield a high‐power fiber ASE source with a broad bandwidth.

Experimental demonstration of a liquid piston Stirling engine with a wet regenerator

In this study, a liquid piston Stirling engine with a water-absorbing wick to keep the regenerator wet (LPSE(wet)) was designed and built. The feasibility of operating the LPSE (wet) at lower temperatures to increase power output compared with that of a liquid piston Stirling engine with a dry regenerator (LPSE (dry)) was experimentally verified. First, the critical temperatures of LPSE (wet) and LPSE (dry) were measured. The experimental results revealed that LPSE (dry) operated at 100 °C, whereas LPSE (wet) operated at 65 °C. Thus, in this study, LPSE (wet) can be operated at a critical temperature 35 °C lower than that of LPSE (dry). The LPSE (wet) could be operated continuously for 900 min, demonstrating the effectiveness of the water-absorbing wick mechanism for long-duration operation. Next, the specific acoustic impedance distribution, the phase difference between the pressure and the cross-sectional mean velocity distribution, and the acoustic power distribution inside the device were measured for LPSE (dry) and LPSE (wet) during each operation. The results confirmed that both LPSE (dry) and LPSE (wet) realized a traveling wave field in which the phase difference between the pressure and cross-sectional mean velocity was close to zero and the specific acoustic impedance more than 30 times the characteristic impedance of a sound wave propagating in free space, which are required to obtain high thermal efficiency, near the regenerator position. The ratio of acoustic power before and after the regenerator was 1.18 (at a hot end temperature of 130 °C) for LPSE (dry) and 1.54 (at a hot end temperature of 90 °C) for LPSE (wet). Under the same conditions, the acoustic power of LPSE (wet) was 10 times or above that of LPSE (dry). These results confirmed that LPSE (wet) designed in this study could operate at lower temperatures and exhibit higher-power output than LPSE(dry).

Boosting the Thermoelectric Properties of Ge0.94Sb0.06Te via Trojan Doping for High Output Power.

GeTe stands as a promising lead-free medium-temperature thermoelectric material that has garnered considerable attention in recent years. Suppressing carrier concentration by aliovalent doping in GeTe-based thermoelectrics is the most common optimization strategy due to the intrinsically high Ge vacancy concentration. However, it inevitably results in a significant deterioration of carrier mobility, which limits further improvement of the zT value. Thus, an effective Trojan doping strategy via CuScTe2 alloying is utilized to optimize carrier concentration without intensifying charge carrier scattering by increasing the solubility of Sc in the GeTe system. Because of the high doping efficiency of the Trojan doping strategy, optimized hole concentration and high mobility are obtained. Furthermore, CuScTe2 alloying leads to band convergence in GeTe, increasing the effective mass m* in (Ge0.84Sb0.06Te0.9)(CuScTe2)0.05 and thus significantly improving the Seebeck coefficient throughout the measured temperature range. Meanwhile, the achievement of the ultralow lattice thermal conductivity (κL ∼ 0.34 W m-1 K-1) at 623 K is attributed to dense point defects with mass/strain-field fluctuations. Ultimately, the (Ge0.84Sb0.06Te0.9)(CuScTe2)0.05 sample exhibits a desirable thermoelectric performance of zTmax ∼ 1.81 at 623 K and zTave ∼ 1.01 between 300 and 723 K. This study showcases an effective doping strategy for enhancing the thermoelectric properties of GeTe-based materials by decoupling phonon and carrier scattering.

Experimental evaluation and optimization of the heat pipes integrated thermoelectric generator using response surface methodology

In this study, integration of heat pipes with thermoelectric generators is proposed for the recovery of waste heat. Heat energy is transferred from a heat source to thermoelectric elements via heat pipes, enabling energy conversion. To dissipate excess heat from the system after conversion, additional heat pipes are positioned on the cold sides of thermoelectric elements. Cooling of the condenser sections of these heat pipes is facilitated using air flow provided by a fan. A novel approach in this study involves the innovative integration of heat pipes with thermoelectric generators. This integration provides a new pathway for optimizing waste heat recovery systems by combining advanced thermal management techniques with thermoelectric technology. Experiments conducted at different power inputs (12–42 W) and air velocities (0.4, 0.8, 1.2 m/s) determine the performance of the thermoelectric generator. Furthermore, a power usage efficiency analysis was conducted to discuss the applicability of the proposed method in electronics. At low air velocities, values below the ideal value of 1 were achieved. Experimental data were analyzed using response surface methodology to assess the impact of varying input parameters on the power output and efficiency of the thermoelectric generator. Optimization studies highlighted the importance of effectively cooling the cold side of thermoelectric elements. The highest power output and efficiency are achieved under conditions of 42 W power input, 1.2 m/s air velocity, and use of 4 heat sinks, yielding approximately 0.8 W and 2 %, respectively. Furthermore, the response surface methodology analysis indicated that the most significant effect on system outputs was the power input. Moreover, the results of this study lay the groundwork for future strategic advancements in thermoelectric generators, enhancing their role in sustainable energy solutions.

C + L-band tunable sub-kHz linewidth single frequency fiber laser by combining a fiber sub-ring with a saturable absorber

A sub-kHz linewidth single-frequency fiber laser that can be tuned in the full range of C + L band is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A broad band gain fiber by bidirectional pumping combining with a wide tunable filter is used to realize 75.87 nm tuning range from 1529.98 to 1605.85 nm, which can be further improved if a wider tunable filter is available. To achieve single-frequency ultra-narrow linewidth laser operation, a ring-cavity laser configuration with a fiber sub-ring and a saturable absorber is utilized. The measured optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the fiber laser is over 80 dB, the side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) can be improved to ∼60 dB, and the linewidth can be narrowed to ∼453 Hz. The output power of the laser exceeds 28 mW, and the slope efficiency is 2.05 %. This proposed fiber laser has the advantages of narrow linewidth, excellent wavelength tunability, and high output power, which is promising for the applications in optical sensing and optical communication systems.

Performance analysis of a molten salt packed-bed thermal energy storage system using three different waste materials

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) is a critical technology for the renewable energy transition, offering high power output at elevated temperatures. However, further integration of CSP plants requires a reduction in investment costs. This study investigates the use of cost-effective, sustainable, waste-based TES materials—such as Electric Arc Furnace Black Slag (BS) and Tundish (TN) from the steel industry, as well as Demolition Waste (DW) from urban regeneration projects—as packing materials in TES systems to reduce the capital expenditure of CSP plants. A One-Dimensional Continuous Solid Phase (1D-2P) model was employed to evaluate and compare the performance of DW, TN, and BS. The results revealed that all materials demonstrated comparable properties, with TN exhibiting the highest energy storage capacity (44.7 kWh) and energy storage density (296 kWh/m³). With high utilization rates of 73–75 %, waste-based TES systems show strong potential for application in CSP plants. The TES systems were scaled for a 110 MW CSP plant, which currently operates with a 2-tank molten salt TES system providing 4648.4 MWh of storage capacity. TN required the smallest storage volume of 22,273 m³ for the 110 MW CSP plant. The reduction of molten salt usage by up to 31,000 tons in the waste-based packed-bed TES system could significantly enhance the economic feasibility of CSP plants.

A Direct Current Self-Sustained Moisture-Electric Generator with 1D/2D Hierarchical Nanostructure for Continuous Operation of Off-Grid Electronics.

Ubiquitous moisture is a colossal reservoir of clean energy, and the emergence of moisture-electric generators (MEGs) is expected to provide direct power support for off-grid electronic devices anytime and anywhere. However, most MEGs rely on auxiliary energy storage devices and rectifier circuits to drive small electronic devices, which hinder scalability and widespread deployment, and the development of direct current (DC) MEGs with high power output that can directly drive off-grid electronic devices is highly promising but challenging. Herein, a self-sustained moisture-electric generator (SMEG) with a hierarchical nanostructure based on one-dimensional (1D) negatively charged nanofibers and two-dimensional (2D) conductive nanosheets was demonstrated to generate continuous DC electricity from atmospheric humidity. Sulfation of bacterial cellulose nanofibers lowers the surface potential and increases the surface charge energy, and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) provides a conduction pathway for electrons. The hierarchical nanostructures constructed by the combination of 1D nanofibers and 2D nanosheets endow the SMEG with self-sustained moisture gradients and structural anisotropy, which force the generation of a pseudocurrent. This combination also constructs microcapacitors that further enhance the moisture-electric power output. The SMEG can generate a continuous voltage in excess of 0.54 V for over 2160 h, with a power density of about 822 μW cm-3, demonstrating excellent operational durability. This research provides a feasible solution for the development of sustainable, versatile, and efficient power supplies for off-grid self-powered devices.

Robust Metallized Liquid Crystal Elastomer Fiber Arrays Toward a Machine Learning‐Assisted Artificial Neuromuscular System with Perceptual Function

AbstractEndowing artificial muscles with perceptual function, as an octopus does, is highly desired but still suffering from interfacing mismatch between actuating and sensing units in a thin fiber. Herein, an artificial neuromuscular fiber capable of electrically responding to external strain/temperature and actuation path with power supply is reported by using polymer‐assisted metal deposition to firmly coat Cu nanoparticles on the surface of liquid crystal elastomer (LCE). The LCE core acts as an actuator, while the wrinkled Cu sheath provides environment interaction and actuation monitoring. Benefiting from the levodopa/polyethyleneimine interface design, this fiber exhibits large reversible contraction (47.61%), fast strain rate (370% s−1), high output power density (663.75 W kg−1) and reliable durability (1000 cycles) under electrical stimulation. Furthermore, by combining as‐made fiber arrays with electronic system and computing algorithm, this machine learning‐assisted artificial neuromuscular system can actuate the Chinese shadow puppetry and recognize its body movements with high accuracy. This work paves a revolutionary way for fabricating next‐generation flexible robots.

A narrative review of velocity-based training best practice: The importance of contraction intent vs. movement speed.

Explosive movements requiring high force and power outputs are integral to many sports, posing distinct challenges for the neuromuscular system. Traditional resistance training can improve muscle strength, power, endurance, and range of motion; however, evidence regarding its effects on athletic performance, such as sprint speed, agility, and jump height, remains conflicting. The specificity of resistance training movements, including velocity, contraction type, and joint angles affects performance outcomes, demonstrates advantages when matching training modalities with targeted sports activities. However, independent of movement speed, the intent to contract explosively (ballistic) has also demonstrated high velocity-specific training adaptations. The purpose of this narrative review was to assess the impact of explosive or ballistic contraction intent on velocity-specific training adaptations. Such movement intent may predominantly elicit motor efferent neural adaptations, including motor unit recruitment and rate coding enhancements. Plyometrics, which utilize rapid stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) movements may augment high-speed movement efficiency and muscle activation, possibly leading to improved motor control through adaptations like faster eccentric force absorption, reduced amortization periods, and quicker transitions to explosive concentric contractions. An optimal training paradigm for power and performance enhancement might involve a combination of maximal explosive intent training with heavier loads and plyometric exercises with lighter loads at high velocities. This narrative review synthesizes key literature to answer whether contraction intent or movement speed is more critical for athletic performance enhancement, ultimately advocating for an integrative approach to resistance training tailored for sports-specific explosive action.

Dual-module combination with littman crosstalk external cavity for narrow-linewidth blue diode laser

The dense spectral beam combination is vital for achieving high power and brightness output in diode lasers. High-power narrow-linewidth laser modules have been widely studied as the fundamental units. This study presents a dual-module shared external cavity linewidth compression structure with a transmission diffraction grating. With a driving current of 2.4 A and a cooling temperature of 20 °C, the blue diode laser’s external cavity achieved an output power of 49.8 W, a spectral linewidth of 0.321 nm, and a tuning range of 0.817 nm, with an external cavity spectrum locked efficiency of approximately 80.6 %. Additionally, it is observed that crosstalk has a significant influence on the linewidth of the two modules. When one module current locked at 2.4 A and the other increased from 0 A to 2.4 A, the linewidth was reduced from 0.377 nm to 0.321 nm, and linewidth locking was implemented over an output power range from 27 W to 49.8 W. This work reports the highest output power for a blue diode narrow-linewidth external cavity laser.

Stable Single-Mode 795 nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser for Quantum Sensing.

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are essential for exhibiting single-transverse-mode output characteristics, which are critical for applications in quantum sensing, optical interconnection, and laser printing. In this study, we achieved stable single-transverse-mode lasing using extended-2λ-cavity with an oxide aperture diameter of 7.08 μm. The device demonstrated a high output power of 6.8 mW and a narrow linewidth of 49.8 MHz at room temperature. Additionally, it maintained stable single-mode emission at 794.8 nm and achieved a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) exceeding 40 dB within the temperature range of 25 °C~85 °C, thereby meeting the requirements of 87Rb atom quantum sensors. The fabricated device obtained high-power and narrow linewidth single-transverse-mode operation by a monolithic extended cavity without introducing additional processing procedures, which is expected to promote the commercial viability of VCSELs in quantum sensing.

The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed design procedure for a highly efficient sequential load-modulated balanced amplifier (SLMBA) to provide an in-depth analysis of this complex power amplifier (PA) architecture. SLMBA’s basic theory is presented and discussed. An SLMBA with a frequency range from 2.45 GHz to 2.65 GHz was implemented and then measured in order to validate the proposed design methodology. In both saturation and back-off states, the fabricated SLMBA exhibits extremely high efficiency and output power. It delivers a maximum output power of 43~44.4 dBm and a drain efficiency (DE) of 71.6~75% at saturation, a DE of 63.5~66% at 6 dB output back-off (OBO) state, a DE of 61.8~66% at 10 dB OBO state, and a DE of more than 51% at 12 dB OBO state in the targeted frequency band. The achieved results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedure.

Highly efficient Y3-xBaxAl5-xSixO12:Cr3+ near-infrared phosphor for plant growth

Near-infrared (NIR) phosphors enhance the growth of plants due to their superior penetration. However, relatively high thermal quenching and low quantum efficiency restrict the development of NIR phosphors. In this study, Y3-xBaxAl5-xSixO12:Cr3+ phosphors (YBAS:Cr3+) with varying concentrations of Ba2+-Si4+ and Cr3+ were studied. The results demonstrate high-purity phases are obtained with doping Ba2+-Si4+ and Cr3+. The Ba2+-Si4+ doping enhances crystallinity and near-spherical particles are synthesized. The theoretical calculations indicate a significant reduction in bandgap with doping Ba2+-Si4+, resulting in impurity levels appearing in the valence band region. The state density calculation shows that the band formation is contributed by all elements. The optimal Ba2+-Si4+ doping concentration is 0.05 mol and the Cr3+ doping content is 0.09 mol. The critical distance (R c ) is 16.62 Å. Dipole–dipole interactions and radiation reabsorptions are main concentration quenching mechanisms. Lattice distortions occur with the introduction of Ba2+-Si4+ and the value (D r ) is 0.052. The YBAS:0.09Cr3+ phosphor shows a crystal field strength with a Dq/B value of 2.76. The phosphor exhibits a high quantum efficiency (73.42%), superior thermal quenching resistance (∼70% initial intensity at 150°C), and a suitable fluorescence lifetime (130.04 µs). A near-infrared pc-LED with YBAS:0.09Cr3+ phosphor displays a high output power of 167.12 mW and a moderate conversion efficiency of 3.82%.

Improving photoelectric characteristics of GaN-based green laser diodes by inserting electron blocking layer with gradient Al composition

This paper proposes four new gradient composition electron blocking layer (EBL) structures to enhance the photoelectric performance of GaN-based green laser diodes (LDs). The optical and electrical properties of new structure LDs are theoretically analyzed by LASTIP. It is observed that the implementation of a gradient composition EBL structure increases the effective barrier height for electrons, thereby better inhibiting the electron current overflow from the active region. In addition, the optical field leakage is effectively suppressed, lower threshold current and higher output power are obtained. The four different new structures have obvious differences in the improvement of the hole current injection and slope efficiency of multiple quantum well (MQW) LDs, and the underlying reasons for these phenomena are explored. Simulation results indicate that adopting a gradually descending Al component EBL structure yields optimal improvements in the photoelectric performance of LDs.

High-performance triboelectric nanogenerator with aminated barium titanate composite nanoparticles for early Parkinson’s disease diagnosis

High dielectric constant nanoparticles into polymer matrices have attracted much attention because this process can improve the nanofriction generator performance. However, the dispersion of the developed materials remains a challenge. In this paper, we present a novel high-performance nanofriction generator (FBT-TENG) based on composite nanoparticles of Amino-functionalized barium titanate and functionalized graphite oxide (FGO/ABTO) with Polyimide (PI) as substrate, which can be used as a sensor for intelligent monitoring systems. Specifically, we introduced amino groups on the surface of barium titanate to improve its dispersion in the PI solution, and the dual effect composite with functionalized graphite oxide improved the TENG performance of the PI film. Due to the FGO/ABTO synergy, the FBT-TENG can generate high output voltages, currents and power densities of 75 V, 13 µA and 4.6 W/m2, respectively, which is a 9 times increase in power density compared to the original PI film. FBT-TENG is capable of powering capacitors. In addition, the FBT-TENG can be used as a sensor to build an early Parkinson’s disease detection system, which provides a more convenient option for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s patients and has the potential for a wide range of medical applications.

A wearable, self-sustainable, and wireless plantar pressure and temperature monitoring system for foot ulceration prognosis and rehabilitation

Continuous foot temperature and pressure monitoring are desirable for prevention and care of foot health conditions such as Diabetic foot ulceration (DFU). However, monitoring these parameters simultaneously is complex, and mostly rely on sensors with undisrupted power supply integration. Herein, we propose high-performance self-sustainable smart footwear capable of monitoring foot pressure and temperature at various locations for real-time applications. The footwear consists of three modules of an integrated electromagnetic generator (EMG) and triboelectric (TENG) self-powered pressure sensors operated by very elastic 3D printed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) springs formed by stacking circular plates that allow TENG pressure sensors to be embedded within. Additionally, Laser-induced graphene (LIG) temperature sensors are used for monitoring foot temperature. The embedded EMG can deliver high output power during various activities: walking (38 mW), running (154 mW), and jumping (75 mW), sufficient to power signal processing and transmission circuitries for wireless monitoring of foot temperature and pressure. TENG-based pressure sensors and LIG temperature sensors (LTS) embedded in this design allow mapping of foot pressure (0.2 V/kPa at 1 Hz) and foot temperature (0.55 Ω °C−1) continuously. Finally, footwear was assembled successfully to demonstrate wireless self-sustainable multisensory smart footwear for monitoring foot pressure and temperature to prevent and rehabilitate diabetic foot ulcers.

Self-powered human movement measurement with a unidirectional ratchet driven wearable energy harvester

A large amount of energy is generated during human movement which is mostly not effectively utilized. To collect human movement energy and utilize it rationally, a wearable piezoelectric-electromagnetic energy harvester (WPEEH) driven by a unidirectional ratchet is proposed, which adopts the principle of up-conversion to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electromagnetic power generator unit is used to obtain energy to power the sensing circuit, while piezoelectric generator unit can be used for both energy generation and self-powered sensing. A spring push rod and a ratchet structure are used to convert the swinging of the human limb into the unidirectional rotation of the device to enhance its energy harvesting efficiency. The theoretical model of the WPEEH is established, and the experimental test platform is built. The results show that the WPEEH is able to generate a maximum power of 17.2 mW at an oscillation frequency of 1.5 Hz. In the actual wearable test, the proposed energy harvester is able to supply the harvested energy to the low-power electronic devices through capacitors, and it enables to light up 42 LEDs as well as to drive the digital thermo-hygrometer to work continuously and stably. Apart from having excellent properties of a high output power and low drive frequency, the proposed energy harvester also exhibits a high energy density (7.1 × 10–5 W/cm3). What’s more, the speed of human movement can be predicted and calculated for different individuals by testing the results of the swing frequency with a maximum error of 2.71 %. The investigation proves that the proposed WPEEH can measure human movement and has great potential in the field of power supply for low-power electronic devices.

Система ввода цифровых предыскажений на основе обобщенной полиномиальной модели с памятью для GaN усилителей мощности

Modern power amplifiers based on GaN transistors face a number of problems related to their physical properties and operating conditions. The high output power of such power amplifiers is accompanied by significant nonlinear distortions, especially when operating in saturation mode. Amplifiers based on GaN transistors have pronounced «short» memory effects, which leads to the dependence of current distortions on previous signal states. At the same time, support for broadband signals requires high processing speeds and large computing resources. Classical digital pre-distortion methods do not always cope with the task of effectively compensating for real-time distortion for power amplifiers based on GaN transistors. These problems complicate the process of linearization of power amplifiers based on GaN transistors and require the development of new methods that can effectively compensate for non-linearities and memory effects without significantly increasing the cost and complexity of the system. The purpose of the work is to create and analyze the effectiveness of a digital pre-imaging system based on a generalized polynomial model with memory to improve the linearity and efficiency of power amplifiers based on GaN transistors in wireless communication systems. The paper presents the architecture of the digital preimage input system based on a generalized polynomial model with memory. The use of this model makes it possible to improve the efficiency of suppressing nonlinear distortions at the output of a power amplifier based on GaN transistors. Practical significance – the proposed architecture can be implemented on FPGAs, VLSI or SOC with a minimum amount of computing resources.

High performance (K,Na)NbO3-based textured ceramics for piezoelectric energy harvesting

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs), which can provide sustainable green energy for low-power electronics have received extensive attention in the viewpoint of science and industrialization. In order to achieve large output power of PEHs, high-performance piezoelectric materials are extremely desired. Herein, excellent electromechanical conversion properties of d33 ∼ 447 pC/N, g33 ∼ 30 × 10-3 Vm/N, k33 ∼ 47% and Suni ∼ 0.18% were achieved in <001> grain aligned KNN-based lead-free ceramics with a favorable rhombohedral (R), orthorhombic (O) and tetragonal (T) multiphase structure. The superior electromechanical conversion properties can be attributed to grain orientation and crystal symmetry controlled anisotropy, and multiphase coexistence significantly decreased poling energy barrier, as well as the flexible response to external stimuli of the nanometer domains. The PEHs fabricated using the optimal performance KNN-based textured ceramics exhibit high output power of 0.46 mW and power density of 6.7 mW/cm3 at a resonant frequency of 41 Hz, which is associated with the large k33 (∼ 47%) and figure-of-merit (d33×g33 ∼ 13.4×10-12 m2/N) values. The output power can actually light up more than 145 commercial LEDs, demonstrating great potential of KNN-based PEHs to power wireless sensors.
