Abstract

In this study, we report the design and fabrication of a dual-phase energy harvester which can synchronously harvest both mechanical and magnetic energy in the absence of DC magnetic field. The harvester consists of a magnetostrictive cantilever beam and a magnetostrictive/ piezoelectric (M/P) self-biased laminate composite structure. This structure allows us to utilize piezoelectric and self-biased magnetoelectric effect simultaneously. By combining these mechanisms together, a sum effect for harvesting both magnetic and vibration energy was realized under DC magnetic field free condition. The bilayer structure provides a simplified geometry that can be easily incorporated into MEMS devices. We demonstrate a hybrid synthesis method for fabrication of complex three-dimensional thin films using a cost-effective and mask-less aerosol jet deposition process. The combination of the hybrid aerosol jet process with dual phase harvester design provides the opportunity to fabricate small scale power sources required for structural health monitoring applications.
