Theoretical and Experimental Studies on MEMS Variable Cross-Section Cantilever Beam Based Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester.

ABSTRACT: The piezoelectric vibration energy harvester (PVEH) based on the variable cross-section cantilever beam (VCSCB) structure has the advantages of uniform axial strain distribution and high output power density, so it has become a research hotspot of the PVEH. However, its electromechanical model needs to be further studied. In this paper, the bidirectional coupled distributed parameter electromechanical model of the MEMS VCSCB based PVEH is constructed, analytically solved, and verified, which laid an important theoretical foundation for structural design and optimization, performance improvement, and output prediction of the PVEH. Based on the constructed model, the output performances of five kinds of VCSCB based PVEHs with different cross-sectional shapes were compared and analyzed. The results show that the PVEH with the concave quadratic beam shape has the best output due to the uniform surface stress distribution. Additionally, the influence of the main structural parameters of the MEMS trapezoidal cantilever beam (TCB) based PVEH on the output performance of the device is theoretically analyzed. Finally, a prototype of the Aluminum Nitride (AlN) TCB based PVEH is designed and developed. The peak open-circuit voltage and normalized power density of the device can reach 5.64 V and 742 μW/cm³/g², which is in good agreement with the theoretical model value. The prototype has wide application prospects in the power supply of the wireless sensor network node such as the structural health monitoring system and the Internet of Things.

MEMS Based Broadband Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Energy Harvester (PUEH) for Enabling Self-Powered Implantable Biomedical Devices.

Project description:Acoustic energy transfer is a promising energy harvesting technology candidate for implantable biomedical devices. However, it does not show competitive strength for enabling self-powered implantable biomedical devices due to two issues - large size of bulk piezoelectric ultrasound transducers and output power fluctuation with transferred distance due to standing wave. Here we report a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based broadband piezoelectric ultrasonic energy harvester (PUEH) to enable self-powered implantable biomedical devices. The PUEH is a microfabricated lead zirconate titanate (PZT) diaphragm array and has wide operation bandwidth. By adjusting frequency of the input ultrasound wave within the operation bandwidth, standing wave effect can be minimized for any given distances. For example, at 1 cm distance, power density can be increased from 0.59 μW/cm(2) to 3.75 μW/cm(2) at input ultrasound intensity of 1 mW/cm(2) when frequency changes from 250 to 240 kHz. Due to the difference of human body and manual surgical process, distance fluctuation for implantable biomedical devices is unavoidable and it strongly affects the coupling efficiency. This issue can be overcome by performing frequency adjustment of the PUEH. The proposed PUEH shows great potential to be integrated on an implanted biomedical device chip as power source for various applications.

Data relating to mems piezoelectric micro power harvester physical parameter optimization, for extremely low frequency and low vibration level applications.

Project description:In this paper, the performance of Piezoelectric Micro Power Harvester (PMPH), which converts mechanical vibrations into electrical power via piezoelectric effect is measured based on L18 Orthogonal Array (OA) and Taguchi optimization methods, where 18 experiments are conducted instead of the trial and error approach. Eight control parameters are selected to study the proposed PMPH in the three levels. COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4 simulation software is used to examine all models in frequency and transient response analysis. MINITAB statistical software is used to analyse the simulation data through Taguchi tools and ANOVA test. The control factor, it is found, has more positive bearing on PMPH performance that has the higher delta function in Taguchi, and higher percentage in ANOVA. This method will hopefully reduce time needed in optimizing PMPH and in maintaining the material resources necessary in the fabrication process let alone cost saving [1].

This design has the features of high energy conversion efficiency in a miniaturized environment where the available vibrational energy varies in frequency. It makes such a design suitable for future large volume production of integrated self powered sensors nodes for the Internet-of-Things.

Piezoelectric Energy Harvester Based on LiNbO3 Thin Films.

Project description:This paper reports the results of the influence of the energy of laser pulses during laser ablation on the morphology and electro-physical properties of LiNbO3 nanocrystalline films. It is found that increasing laser pulse energy from 180 to 220 mJ results in the concentration of charge carriers in LiNbO3 films decreasing from 8.6 × 1015 to 1.0 × 1013 cm-3, with the mobility of charge carriers increasing from 0.43 to 17.4 cm2/(V·s). In addition, experimental studies of sublayer material effects on the geometric parameters of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are performed. It is found that the material of the lower electrode has a significant effect on the formation of CNTs. CNTs obtained at the same growth time on a sample with a Cr sublayer have a smaller diameter and a longer length compared to samples with a V sublayer. Based on the obtained results, the architecture of the energy nanogenerator is proposed. The current generated by the nanogenerator is 18 nA under mechanical stress of 600 nN. The obtained piezoelectric nanogenerator parameters are used to estimate the parameters of the hybrid-carbon-nanostructures-based piezoelectric energy converter. Obtained results are promising for the development of efficient energy converters for alternative energy devices based on lead-free ferroelectric films.

Flexible piezoelectric ultrasonic energy harvester array for bio-implantable wireless generator.

Project description:Ultrasonic driven wireless charging technology has recently attracted much attention in the next generation bio-implantable systems; however, most developed ultrasonic energy harvesters are bulky and rigid and cannot be applied to general complex surfaces. Here, a flexible piezoelectric ultrasonic energy harvester (PUEH) array was designed and fabricated by integrating a large number of piezoelectric active elements with multilayered flexible electrodes in an elastomer membrane. The developed flexible PUEH device can be driven by the ultrasonic wave to produce continuous voltage and current outputs on both planar and curved surfaces, reaching output signals of more than 2 Vpp and 4 μA, respectively. Potential applications of using the flexible PUEH to charge energy-storage devices and power commercial electronics were demonstrated. Its low attenuation performance was also evaluated using the in vitro test of transmitting power through pork tissue, demonstrating its potential use in the next generation of wirelessly powered bio-implantable micro-devices.

Improved performance of stretchable piezoelectric energy harvester based on stress rearrangement.

Project description:With the development of wearable devices and soft electronics, the demand for stretchable piezoelectric energy harvesters (SPEHs) has increased. Energy harvesting can provide energy when large batteries or power sources cannot be employed, and stretchability provides a user-friendly experience. However, the performance of SPEHs remains low, which limits their application. In this study, a wearable SPEH is developed by adopting a kirigami structure on a polyvinylidene fluoride film. The performance of the SPEH is improved by rearranging the stress distribution throughout the film. This is conducted using two approaches: topological depolarization, which eliminates the opposite charge generation by thermal treatment, and optimization of the neutral axis, which maximizes the stress applied at the surface of the piezoelectric film. The SPEH performance is experimentally measured and compared with that of existing SPEHs. Using these two approaches, the stress was rearranged in both the x-y plane and z-direction, and the output voltage increased by 21.57% compared with that of the original film with the same stretching motion. The generated energy harvester was successfully applied to smart transmittance-changing contact lenses.

Vibration energy harvesting using piezoelectric unimorph cantilevers with unequal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths.

Project description:We have examined a piezoelectric unimorph cantilever (PUC) with unequal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths for vibration energy harvesting theoretically by extending the analysis of a PUC with equal piezoelectric and nonpiezoelectric lengths. The theoretical approach was validated by experiments. A case study showed that for a fixed vibration frequency, the maximum open-circuit induced voltage which was important for charge storage for later use occurred with a PUC that had a nonpiezoelectric-to-piezoelectric length ratio greater than unity, whereas the maximum power when the PUC was connected to a resistor for immediate power consumption occurred at a unity nonpiezoelectric-to-piezoelectric length ratio.

Development of a Cantilever-Type Electrostatic Energy Harvester and Its Charging Characteristics on a Highway Viaduct.

Project description:We have developed a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) electrostatic vibratory power generator with over 100 ? W RMS of (root-mean-square) output electric power under 0.03 G RMS (G: the acceleration of gravity) accelerations. The device is made of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer and is fabricated by silicon micromachining technology. An electret built-in potential is given to the device by electrothermal polarization in silicon oxide using potassium ions. The force factor, which is defined by a proportional coefficient of the output current with respect to the vibration velocity, is 2.34 × 10 - 4 C/m; this large value allows the developed vibration power generator to have a very high power efficiency of 80.7%. We have also demonstrated a charging experiment by using an environmental acceleration waveform with an average amplitude of about 0.03 G RMS taken at a viaduct of a highway, and we obtained 4.8 mJ of electric energy stored in a 44 ? F capacitor in 90 min.

Development of a Non-Linear Bi-Directional Vortex-Induced Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Magnetic Interaction.

Project description:In this study, magnetic force is introduced to the design of a bi-directional U-shaped piezoelectric energy harvester for vortex-induced vibrations. The theoretical model of the beam structure is derived based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The vortex-induced vibration and the non-linear magnetic force are modeled according to the Rayleigh oscillator and the charge model, respectively. A prototype is fabricated and tested in two orthogonal directions under vortex-induced vibrations in a wind tunnel. Up and down wind-speed sweeps are carried out to investigate the non-linear responses of the harvester. The distance between the magnets and the length of the side beams are adjusted to examine the influence of the magnetic force on the lock-in region and voltage output of the harvester. Overall, the harvester shows strong non-linearity in the horizontal excitations. After adding magnets to the system, significant improvement of the lock-in region and the peak voltage is noticed in the horizontal mode under both up and down sweeps.
