In this study, we investigated the effect of zirconium content on lead-free barium zirconate titanate (BZT) (Ba(Zr<inf>x</inf>Ti<inf>1-x</inf>)O<inf>3</inf>, with x = 0.00, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.08), which was prepared by the sol-gel method. A single-phase perovskite BZT was obtained under calcination and sintering conditions at 1100 °C and 1300 °C. Ferroelectric measurements revealed that the Curie temperature of BaTiO<inf>3</inf> was 399 K, and the transition temperature decreased with increasing zirconium content. At the Curie temperature, Ba(Zr<inf>0.03</inf>Ti<inf>0.97</inf>)O<inf>3</inf> with a dielectric constant of 19,600 showed the best performance in converting supplied mechanical vibration into electrical power. The experiments focused on piezoelectric activity at a low vibrating frequency, and the output power that dissipated from the BZT system at 15 Hz was 2.47 nW (30 MΩ). The prepared lead-free sol-gel BZT is promising for energy-harvesting applications considering that the normal frequencies of ambient vibration sources are less than 100 Hz.

The number of residential buildings in many countries has been fast growing. Comfortable furniture and smart peripheral devices become common for well living in daily life. For example, an electronic wireless switch could be controlled via a mobile phone to open or close home appliances (i.e. light, air-conditioner, security and alarm system), it is so-called »Home Appliances Control». This paper demonstrated a simple-wireless standalone system for the case of the receiver module attached to the compressor unit of the conventional air conditioner. This research proposed an air-compressor as a source of discrete excitations and employed a conventional buzzer as a transducer. The vibration is harvested its mechanical energy to electricity by using a cantilever-type structure glued with the piezoelectric buzzer. The output energy is stored in capacitors thus being consequent as a miniature generator; then, the transmitted data is received by a wireless receiver from the remote transmitter. These result confirmed that the simple cantilever could act as a charger for the connected capacitors which was subsequently an energy source to feed wireless units. In this work, a running air-conditioner produced a charging cycle to capacitors of 3,150 μF within 1 hour. This is sufficient to send and receive the data of atmospheric temperature around the building. This application is useful as a warning sign for inhabitants.

This work focuses on an improvement of dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) or P(VDF-HFP) via mixing with different nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O) contents (0–2 wt%). The nanocomposite films have been prepared by a conventional solution technique. The results reveal that the surface roughness increases with increasing salt content. The NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O salt has no significant effect on the crystallinity of films. Additional incorporation of NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O in the polymer leads to the growing conductivity. However, the considerable enhancement in dielectric constant with the relatively low dielectric loss tangent (0.1–0.3) can be found because of the formation of β-phase nucleation of NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O in the P(VDF-HFP) matrix. The maximum value of calculated β-phase fraction of the nanocomposite is achieved 86% for salt content 0.5 wt%. Moreover, the largest dielectric constant (29.2 at 10 Hz) of the film doped 2 wt% NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O is about 7 times greater than that of the pure P(VDF-HFP). The findings in this research suggest that the NiCl<inf>2</inf>⋅6H<inf>2</inf>O/P(VDF-HFP) nanocomposite is a candidate dielectric material for the next generation of energy conversion components.

The present work has investigated a means of fabricating porous, β phase P(VDF-HFP) film by adding two kinds of hydrated metal salts. Without the use of mechanical stretching or electrical poling treatments, MgCl<inf>2</inf> •6H<inf>2</inf>O and AlCl<inf>3</inf> •6H<inf>2</inf>O are found to induce the formation of β phase crystals in porous film derived from the solution casting method. Trivalent Al ions have been found to effectively promote the self-oriented β phase of the P(VDF-HFP) film greater than divalent Mg ions. The overall β content is achieved about 38% and 42% for adding 0.25 wt% Mg- and Al-salts, respectively. The average pore sizes and surface roughness of porous P(VDF-HFP) films are increased with increasing salt concentration. The dielectric constant of about 5 for pure P(VDF-HFP) film (at 100 Hz) has been boosted up to 13-19 when adding the salts. In addition, the P(VDF-HFP) films filled with Al-salt exhibit the largest piezoelectric coefficient of 20 pC/N. Thus, the modified polymers are one of candidate materials for using in dielectric and piezoelectric applications.
