Thermal energy harvesting using pyroelectric-electrochemical coupling in ferroelectric materials
Yan Zhang, Pham Thi Thuy Phuong, Eleanor Roake +4
Recently, the coupling of ferroelectrics with electrochemical reactions has attracted increasing interest for harvesting waste heat. The change of polarisation of a ferroelectric w…
High piezoelectric sensitivity and hydrostatic figures of merit in unidirectional porous ferroelectric ceramics fabricated by freeze casting
Yan Zhang, James Roscow, Mengying Xie +1
High performance lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramics with aligned porosity for sensing applications were fabricated by an ice-templating method. To demonstrate the enhanced prop…
Ice-templated poly(vinylidene fluoride) ferroelectrets
Yan Zhang, Chris R. Bowen, Sylvain Deville
Ferroelectrets are piezoelectrically-active polymer foams that can convert externally applied loads into electric charge. Existing processing routes used to create pores of the des…
