Abstract
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesters As an interdisciplinary field, the energy harvesting of water flow using piezoelectric materials encompasses a range of subjects; this includes fluid-solid excitation mechanisms, piezoelectrics, interface circuits, and potential end-user applications, such as sensing and data transmission. In article number 2300235, Zihe Li and co-workers examine progress achieved to date in the key aspects of piezoelectric water flow harvesting materials and devices, and outline future directions.
