Abstract
An Energy Conversion Efficiency depends on the piezoelectric material's properties, including its thickness. Thicker materials are more efficient in converting mechanical strain into electrical energy as they can store more mechanical energy. The resonant frequency of a piezoelectric material, which is the frequency at which it vibrates the most, is directly proportional to its thickness. Therefore, thicker materials have a lower resonant frequency and are more appropriate for low-frequency vibration energy harvesting applications. However, increasing the thickness of piezoelectric material comes with trade-offs, such as higher cost and weight, limiting their practical use in some applications. Thicker materials may also have a lower resonant frequency, making them less suitable for high-frequency vibration energy harvesting.
