New Energy Harvesting Tech Could Bring Power To Remote Regions

DGIST (Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology in Korea) researchers developed a piezoelectric polymer/ceramic composite fiber with a cross-sectional form that is uniformly controlled to allow the use of energy harvesting technologies that can recycle energy wasted or consumed in everyday life. The results of this study have been published in Nano Energy. Piezoelectric fiber can produce electrical energy through the piezoelectric effect of the material and drive wearable electronic devices through the wearer's movement. However, most…
