Piezoelectric
Piezoelectricity is the
ability of certain
materials to produce a
voltage when
subjected to
mechanical stress.
Piezoelectric materials
also show the opposite
effect, where
application of an
electrical field creates
mechanical stress (size
modification) in the

Pyro electric
Pyro electric energy conversion offers
a novel and direct way to convert heat
into electricity
Pyroelectricity
the ability of certain materials to
generate a temporaryvoltagewhen
they are heated or cooled.
Performance of pyroelectric
materials
Large pyroelectric coefficient in order
to generate a large pyroelectric current
Large spontaneous polarization so that
more charges can be stored on the
materials surface to produce a large
pyroelectric current.
Large dielectric strength to enable
large applied electric field during the
Olsen cycle without breakdown.
Conculsion
dealing with small-power energy
harvesting from heat, it can be
achieved using both thermoelectric
and pyroelectric effects
Temperature gradients are
necessary, which is just the main
difficulty of thermoelectric energy
harvesting. In case of pyroelectric
energy harvesting, a time varying
temperature is necessary.
