Abstract:
An energy harvester is provided. The energy harvester includes a first friction member, and a second friction member arranged to face the first friction member and generating electrical energy by causing friction with the first friction member. At least one of the first friction member and the second friction member includes a pyroelectric material converting frictional heat generated due to friction of the first and second friction members into electrical energy. While the energy harvester generates electrical energy by triboelectrification, the energy harvester may convert frictional heat into electrical energy by using a pyroelectric material.
