Perovskite ferroelectric BiFeO3 has been extensively researched in many application fields, but has rarely been investigated for the energy conversion of tiny mechanical motions in electricity in spite of its large theoretical remnant polarization. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of a flexible p...
