Auxetic piezoelectric energy harvesters for increased electric power output

This letter presents a piezoelectric bimorph with auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) behaviors for increased power output in vibration energy harvesting. The piezoelectric bimorph comprises a 2D auxetic substrate sandwiched between two piezoelectric layers. The auxetic substrate is capable of introd...
