Abstract

We investigate the energy harvesting with an electrostrictive polymer, possessing high electromechanical response and elastic energy density, which make it possible to generate high electric energy density and attractive for the active energy harvesting scheme. It is shown that combining the active energy harvesting scheme and high electromechanical response of the polymer yields a harvested electric energy density of ∼40 mJ cm3 with a 10% efficiency.
