Abstract

The rapid development of technology causes humans to provide a large amount of energy, especially electrical energy. One of the new renewable energy sources that is still under development is a piezoelectric-based energy harvester. Piezoelectric itself is a material that has an electric polarizing effect that occurs in certain materials when the material is given a mechanical stress. The potential difference measured across the piezoelectric material is proportional to the applied pressure. This study aims to examine the prototype of a piezoelectric-based micro energy generator using different loadings on ceramics. This research was carried out by making a prototype on a 30x30 cm2 ceramic, and using a piezoelectric in the form of a PZT type. The method used in this research is measuring the voltage of each configuration variation in the piezoelectric circuit. Retrieval of stress data was done by dropping a load of 3 kg, 6 kg and 9 kg for each variation to be tested. The distance between the piezoelectric position and the center of mass affected the resulting voltage, each additional load would cause an increase in voltage, and a series circuit produces a greater voltage than a parallel circuit

Abstract

Ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) materials have gained significant attention for their potential to convert low-temperature thermal energy into electrical energy. In this study, gel electrolyte-based i-TE materials have been synthesized using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), glycerin and H3PO4 solution as electrolyte. Analysis of thermoelectric properties such as Seebeck coefficient and power factor of the gel electrolyte has been carried out. In this study, ionic conductivity and potential difference or output voltage of CMC/glycerin gel electrolyte were measured. The results of this study indicate that the ionic conductivity and output voltage of the CMC/glycerin sample increase with temperature, whereas the Seebeck coefficient and power factor tend to decrease as the temperature gradient between the hot and cold parts of the CMC/glycerin gel electrolyte sample increases. These findings suggest that the CMC/glycerin-based polymer gel electrolyte has potential for use in i-TE devices, particularly in applications where high power output is required.

Abstract

Ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) materials have the potential to be applied to devices for converting low-temperature heat energy into electricity. In this study, an I-TE cell made of PVA/glycerin/H3PO4 was synthesized using Al and Cu electrodes. The general objective of this study is to investigate how symmetrical electrode configurations (Al-Al, Cu-Cu) and asymmetrical configurations (Al-Cu) affect the thermoelectric performance of PVA/glycerin/H₃PO₄ polymer electrolyte cells, including potential difference, Seebeck coefficient, and power factor. The results of this study show that the PVA/glycerin/H₃PO₄ sample with asymmetric electrodes produces a higher potential difference than the sample with symmetric electrodes. The highest potential difference in the sample with asymmetric electrodes is 0.97 V. Meanwhile, the highest potential difference produced by the sample with symmetrical Al electrodes was 0.15 V. However, the highest increase in potential difference with respect to temperature gradient was observed in the PVA/glycerin sample with symmetrical Al electrodes. This was based on the Seebeck coefficient value produced by the sample, which was 16 mV/K. This is followed by the sample with an asymmetric electrode, and the lowest is the sample with a symmetric Cu electrode. The power factor of the sample increases with increasing temperature and follows the pattern of increasing ionic conductivity. In addition, the power factor is also influenced by the Seebeck coefficient value of the sample. In this study, samples with symmetrical Al electrodes showed the highest PF values, with a maximum value at a temperature of 65 °C. These findings indicate that polymer electrolyte cells based on PVA/glycerin/H₃PO₄ with Al and Cu electrodes have the potential for use in i-TE devices to convert low-quality thermal energy into electricity.
