Preface

Energy harvesting is the capture of external energy from various naturally occurring or prevalent sources. This harnessed energy is stored for or directly used in numerous applications, most particularly electronics and electrical systems. The scope, significance, and impact of energy harvesting research have generated a lot of interest within the scientific community and the general populace at large. A number of major advances in energy harvesting have relied on the identification and application of functionalities of existing materials or microsystems in innovative manners or with adapted designs.

This book aims to provide an overview of recent research advances utilizing functional materials and microsystems for energy harvesting. ...
