Piezoelectric Energy Generation and Harvesting at the Nano-Scale: Materials and Devices

Continuous efforts are being made for alternative power generation techniques for use in devices with sub-micron-scale dimensions. In this work, we have perused through some of these efforts, focusing mainly on devices using materials with piezoelectric properties. In the last decade or so, nanostru...
