Abstract

Polymeric piezoelectric composites for energy harvesting applications are an important study subject because they offer mechanical versatility, adequate voltage with adequate output power, cheaper cost of manufacturing, and faster processing than ceramic-based composites. Several kinds of piezoelectric polymers and its composites are intensively discussed and explored as a viable alternative to lead-based piezo-ceramics in energy harvesting applications. The chapter focuses on the core theory and concepts of piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) devices, following the materials employed in the various devices. The many structural configurations involved in the production of PEH devices are described. This chapter also includes existing circumstances for PEH devices, main issues related with them, and the future outlook for such devices.
