Abstract

Undeniably, piezoelectric materials are an exciting possibility for serving as a workable energy source; the question is whether technologies at this point in their development are ready for wide-scale application. This requires considering their value in the real context of modern urban environments and ecological conditions. A critical literature review has been carried out in this paper for the identification of the most successful piezoelectric generation techniques that have been utilized to date. Comparing these various methods in respect of their energy output and socioeconomic impact provides a clearer understanding of the specific hurdles and advantages involved. The overall findings indicate the practical, positive role that the implementation of piezoelectric systems could continue to play in the support of global power generation.

Piezoelectric nanogenerators are a transformative technology that can miniaturize power packages and enable self powering of Nano systems in vital applications such as implantable bio sensing, environment monitoring, and personal electronics. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the fundamental importance of nanogenerators, examining recent developments in power generation and detailing the underlying piezoelectric power generation mechanism. Significant research and design efforts are discussed, focusing on those that have successfully enhanced power generation to a level suitable for commercialization. The increased power enables PENGs to drive not only nano systems but also common microelectronic devices, including commercial liquid crystal displays, light emitting diodes, and laser diodes. Finally, the review identifies the goals to be reached in the future to ensure that these innovative nanogenerators will be successfully transferred from research laboratories to everyday use.

Keywords: Power Generation, Piezoelectricity, energy collector, Piezoelectric slates, Piezoelectric breakwater.
