When employed appropriately, ferroelectric materials present themselves as one of the most efficient means of waste (thermal/mechanical) energy scavenging. A large conversion potential can be obtained when appropriate materials are combined with high-field actuation (Ericsson cycle). However, waste energy rarely presents itself in an isolated form (heat or vibration). There is also a distinct lack of systems capable of simultaneous thermomechanical energy conversion, especially in the low-frequency range. In this regard a systematic approach to the concept of combined energy harvesting and storage potential of a singular material system is presented. Polarization versus electric field hysteresis loops were gathered as a function of temperature, uniaxial compressive stress, and electric field. Thereafter, a theoretical assessment was made to the effect of the biased and unbiased energy conversion potential of 0.50Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.(8))O-3-0.50(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 bulk lead-free ferroelectric material. Maximum energy conversion potentials of 150 and 210kJm(-3) were obtained for thermal (5MPa, 24-96 degrees C) and mechanical cycles (24 degrees C, 5-160MPa), respectively. A slightly improved performance of 220kJm(-3) was obtained under simultaneous depolarization, despite performance degradation through individual biasing. However, the energy-storage density improved by 100% (80kJm(-3)) and 50% (60kJm(-3)), respectively, when operated under elevated stress (60MPa) and temperature (90 degrees C). Results are indicative of a singular material system that could be used for combined thermomechanical energy conversion and on-board storage capacity.
