FOREIGN LITERATURE

TITLE: High-performance bio-piezoelectric nanogenerator made with fish scale

SYNTHESIS:

In a study by Ghosh and Mandal (2016), fish scales (FSCs) are utilized to fabricate a

high-performance bio-piezoelectric nanogenerator (BPNG). The study seeks to determine the

efficacy of FSCs as a potential material for the nanogenerator and characterize its properties

such as the presence of collagen, piezoelectric response, and polar alignment.

The study was divided into two projects: first was the characterization of the FSCs where

X-ray diffraction, FE-SEM, and Raman Spectroscopy were used. The second part was the

investigation of the BPNG produced using FSCs. Fish scales were demineralized using a

system of solutions. The produced FSCs are then used to create the film with polypropylene

and gold electrodes. The results show the presence of collagen on the fish scales of sweet

water fish, while its piezoelectric response indicates that it can harness energy with

low-frequency vibrations, which produce ~0.17 Mpa. The findings of the study concluded the

feasibility of FSCs in BPNG.

TITLE: Development of a Traffic Noise Energy Harvesting Standalone System using

Piezoelectric Transducers and Super-Capacitor

SYNTHESIS:

A study by Salvador et al. (2017) focused on developing an energy harvesting system

while utilizing sound vibrations from traffic noise through piezoelectricity. The study's goal is to

fabricate a sound converting device that would serve as a recipient of sound vibrations. Then, a

piezoelectric transducer would act as a sensor for the sound pressure level and convert it to

electrical energy.

After several field tests, results show that the prototype can produce 0.0325 W through

75-78 dB of sound. At the same time, it is noteworthy to imply that the sensitivity correlates with

electricity production as low-frequency vibrations would result in less energy harvest. With these

findings, it can be concluded that energy harvesting using traffic noise through piezoelectricity is

feasible.
