Piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials represent emerging cutting-edge technological materials for energy harvesting for high-value-added applications. Although these materials have been exhaustively exploited for decades, researchers around the world continue to find technological and scientific innovations that must be disseminated to the engineers of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Piezoelectric materials, through mechanical stresses applied to them, are capable of generating electricity, while thermoelectric materials are capable of producing electricity thanks to the heat applied to them. Therefore, the direct application of these materials is in energy harvesting, which, together with the reduction of materials, leads them to portable and wearable functional applications. The purpose of this work is to disseminate some of the latest scientific and technological advances by different researchers around the world in the development of devices and applications based on these materials.

Calculation and Design of Two-dimensional Thermoelectric and Piezoelectric Materials by San-Dong Guo,Guangzhao Wang,Yee Sin Ang,Huabing Yin Pdf

The fascinating two-dimensional (2D) materials are being unconsciously applied in various fields from science to engineering, which is benefited from the glamorous physical and chemical properties of mechanics, optics, electronics, and magnetism. The representative 2D thermoelectric/piezoelectric materials can directly convert thermal/mechanical energy into electrical energy, which can resolve the energy issues and avoid further environmental deterioration. The thermoelectric or piezoelectric properties of various 2D materials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, black phosphorus, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), arsenene, metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes), and so on, have been investigated in detail. Although tremendous progress has been achieved in the past few years, these properties still need to be improved for their practical application by designing new 2D materials, strain engineering, chemical functionalization, etc. In addition to this, in 2D materials, there are many other novel physical properties, such as magnetism, topology, valley, and so on. The combination of thermoelectricity/piezoelectricity with other unique properties may lead to novel device applications or scientific breakthroughs in new physics. Overall, the emergence of 2D thermoelectric and piezoelectric materials has expanded energy conversion research dramatically. By combing this new device concept with the novel 2D materials, original devices should have potential applications in energy harvesting.

Properties and Applications of Thermoelectric Materials by Veljko Zlatic,Alexander Hewson Pdf

As concerns with the efficient use of energy resources, and the minimization of environmental damage have come to the fore, there has been a renewed interest in the role that thermoelectric devices could play in generating electricity from waste heat, enabling cooling via refrigerators with no moving parts, and many other more specialized applications. The main problem in realizing this ambition is the rather low efficiency of such devices for general applications. This book deals with the proceedings of a workshop addressed that problems by reviewing the latest experimental and theoretical work on suitable materials for device applications and by exploring various strategies that might increase their efficiency. The proceedings cover a broad range of approaches, from the experimental work of fabricating new compounds through to theoretical work in characterizing and understanding their properties. The effects of strong electron correlation, disorder, the proximity to metal-insulator transitions, the properties of layered composite materials, and the introduction of voids or cages into the structure to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity are all explored as ways of enhancing the efficiency of their use in thermoelectric devices.

Piezoelectric Materials and Devices - Practice and Applications by Hitesh Dave Pdf

Piezoelectric are materials that can create electricity when subjected to a mechanical stress. They will also work in reverse, generating a strain by the application of an electric field. The piezoelectric effect describes the relation between a mechanical stress and an electrical voltage in solids. In physics, the piezoelectric effect can be described as the link between electrostatics and mechanics. The piezoelectric effect was discovered in 1880 by the Jacques and Pierre Curie brothers. One of the first applications of the piezoelectric effect was an ultrasonic submarine detector developed during the First World War. The piezoelectric effect occurs only in non-conductive materials. This book emphasises on the various applications of piezoelectric materials such as piezoelectric stacks in level sensors, pressure sensors, machining processes, nondestructive testing of aeronautical structures and acoustic wave velocity measurements etc. The book should be of immense valuable tool not only to researchers, but also to professional engineers, students and other experts in a variety of disciplines, both academic and industrial seeking to gain a better understanding of what has been completed in the field recently, and what kind of open problems are in this area.
