Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In the last decade, when our daily life is boosted by micro devices, it is required to look at alternative energy solutions of power supply technologies. Energy harvesting has gained attention as an alternative energy solution. In energy harvesting, there is the conversion of ambient energy in the environment into electrical energy. Among all, the mechanical energy source is the most approachable source to harvest energy using thin films and MEMS technologies. In MEMS-based energy harvesters, mechanical vibrations are exploited for delivering sufficient energy on small scale. In further advancement, MEMS devices can be extended to piezoelectric, electromagnetic transductions, solar cells, and magnetic fields for implementing energy harvesting purposes. These harvesters realize a mechanical resonator with a high-quality factor by using the mechanical structure and can be fabricated using MEMS fabrication technologies. There is a wide range of applications of mechanical energy harvesters including vibrations engines, ultralow-power technology, railway applications, pathway sustainability, structural health monitoring, and self-powered Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
