Materials for energy harvesting. Energy harvesting from environmental sources, including mechanical vibrations, magnetic fields, heat, and light, has become highly relevant, especially for implementation of the Internet of Things vision that requires self-powered wireless sensor networks for sustainable deployment. This issue explores the design and development of materials that can meet the practical requirements for energy harvesting. The cover shows a schematic view of a magneto-mechano-electric energy harvester. The harvester is composed of magnetostrictive alloy plates (right side), piezoelectric slabs (middle layer, blue and yellow tones), and permanent magnet mass (upper side, metallic cube). Piezoelectric slabs are laminated with electrodes (second on the left, silver color) and protection polymer layers (first layer on left, amber color). The background shows sources from which energy can be harvested—vibrations (ocean tides) and magnetic fields. Image courtesy of Shuxiang Dong and Jungho Ryu. See the technical theme that begins on page 176.
