Nanogenerators: Self‐Powered Cardiac Pacemaker Enabled by Flexible Single Crystalline PMN‐PT Piezoelectric Energy Harvester (Adv. Mater. 28/2014)

Abstract

A self-powered artificial pacemaker is demonstrated using a high-performance flexible piezoelectric PMN-PT thinfilm energy harvester. As reported by K. J. Lee and co-workers on page 4880, a PMN-PT harvesting device can convert slight mechanical movements to high electric power and provides functional electrical stimulation of a living heart.
