[Display omitted] Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) promote the construction of a smarter world through powering electric devices with energy scavenged from environmental vibrations by means of piezoelectric effect. To enable the piezoelectric effect, piezoelectric materials are usually attache...
