New piezoelectric material remains effective to high temperatures Schematic of a piezoelectric energy harvester that transforms mechanical vibrations to electrical energy. Newswise — UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Piezoelectric materials hold great promise as sensors and as energy harvesters but are normally much less effective at high temperatures, limiting their use in environments such as engines or space exploration. However, a new piezoelectric device developed by a team of researchers from Penn State and QorTek remains highly effective at elevated temperatures. Clive Randall, director of Pe...
