This book explains the state-of-the-art green piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology. It highlights different aspects of PEH, starting right from the materials, their synthesis, and characterization techniques to applications. Various types of materials, including ceramics, polymers, composites, and bio-inspired compounds in nano, micro, and meso scale and their recent advancements are captured in detail with special focus on lead-free systems. Different challenges and issues faced while designing a PEH are also included.
Features:
Guides on how to harvest piezoelectric energy in a sustainable manner Describes related figures of merit for piezoelectric energy harvesting Covers synthesis of piezoelectric materials in the form of bulk, single crystal, nano, and thin/thick film Includes pertinent advanced characterization techniques Reviews piezo-energy harvesting devices and structuresThis book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in electrical engineering, materials, and energy.
About the Author: Swetapadma Praharaj is currently working as Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, School of Applied Sciences, Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. She obtained her M.Tech in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from the NationalInstitute of Technology (NIT), Roukela, and was awarded with the Institute's silver medal for her performance. Thereafter, she completed her PhD in Physics at KIIT, during which she honed her expertise on the development of lead-free piezoceramics and improvement of their figures of merit. To her credit, she has published in 30 peer-reviewed journals.Dr. Praharaj applies her expertise to best tailor the functionalities of eco-friendly ceramic materials that are the materials of choice in electronic components and hightech machines. She has a keen interest in developing high-strain and temperature-stable high Tc ceramics (applicable in actuators, sensors, and capacitors) by compositional engineering. She is proficient in evaluating the performance-based figures of merit of materials in terms of S-E, P-E, Dielectric, and impedance spectroscopy. Currently, Dr. Praharaj is working on designing energy storage and harvesting devices using lead-free piezoelectric and supercapacitor (electrode) materials.Dibyaranjan Rout is currently working as Associate Professor at the School of Applied Sciences (Physics), Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), Deemed to be University. He obtained his PhD in Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras, and subsequently took a postdoctoral position in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Korea. He also served as a Research Assistant Professor in the same institute for two years. To his credit, he has published more than fifty papers in peer-reviewed journals. Under his supervision, five PhDs and ten master's theses have been awarded.Dr. Rout's research interest encompasses the structure-process-property relationships exhibited by functional/ smart materials, particularly lead-free piezoelectric/multiferroic/high-Tc relaxor materials. He is keen to design and develop such novel and eco-friendly materials in the form of bulk ceramics, nanoparticles, nanostructures, thick films, fibers, and nanocomposites using ease and cost-effective processes (solid state, reaction, soft chemical, spray pyrolysis, electrospinning) with adequate figures of merit suitable for industrial applications (specially actuators, multi-layer ceramic capacitors, energy storage/harvesting, and dye degradation).

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
Overseas Delivery
Shipments to EU countries:
First Item @ £15.00 (sometimes a shipping supplement will be added for particularly heavy books)
2 Items & over @ £30.00 in total
A really, really important Brexit bit: From 1st January 2021 shipments to EU addresses may incur additional costs which could be requested by Fed Ex at the time of delivery. These costs may vary from country to country and are not within our control and will be in addition to the costs paid to us for your delivery. If in any doubt, please check with your local Fed Ex office what, if any, additional costs will be applicable to your order - https://www.fedex.com
