Energy Retainment from Crystalline Elastomer (CrEl) and Lead Zirconate Titanate (PbZrT)

Delia Teresa Sponza*

Pyroelectric materials  that can generate electric charges when subjected to temperature changes dependent on renewable energy . Conventional pyroelectric energy harvesters suffer from low output. In this study, a nanocomposite was generated with crystalline elastomer (CrEl) and pyroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PbZrT) nanoparticles. As a result, a heat harvesting device with high output was generated. The overall pyroelectricity is enhanced by the secondary pyroelectricity generated from the thermal stress imposed on the CrEl. The monodomain CrEl/ PbZrT NCs with enhanced energy production. The monodomain CrEl/ PbZrT NCs film with a PbZrT ratio of 3.2 wt %  exhibited a current of 2.99 nA and a voltage of 6.99 V. This energy harvester can charge capacitors and power electronic devices.
