The electrothermodynamic cycle is described by the loop of the electric displacement, D, versus the electric field, E (D–E loop). In Figure 1a, a schematic of the theoretical Olsen cycle is presented as ABCD. The cycle begins at a low temperature (Tlow) with no electric field (point A). When the electric field (E1) is applied, the state moves to point B (path AB), corresponding to the hysteresis loop section of the material obtained at Tlow (see Figure S1b, Supporting Information), denoting an increase in electric displacement. The temperature is increased to the value Thigh (path BC). Then, electric displacement corresponds to another hysteresis loop, obtained at Thigh (point C). Removing the external electric field, the state moves to point D along the hysteresis loop at Thigh (path CD). Finally, the temperature is decreased to Tlow, and the state moves to point A (path DA). The produced loop area is considered as an energy density (ND, the area of the D–E loop); the power density (PD,= NDf) is also evaluated from the area.[7–14] To the best of our knowledge, there is no application that satisfies a true energy breakeven because of the difficulties associated with finding a suitable energy source that can simultaneously give alternative heat and an electric field.[7–14] In this study, a novel electrothermodynamic cycle is presented based on temporal temperature variation to obtain practical net energy from exhaust heat of automobile. Another representative heat electric conversion cycle, the Stirling cycle, is modified, and this cycle has a higher potential than the Olsen cycle.[6, 7] The most representative pyro and piezoelectric material, PZT (C-6, Curie temperature TC: 305 C), is employed. The temperature variation is considered as a simple pseudo-sinusoidal wave based on the imaging of the temperature fluctuation of the exhaust gas. An external electric field is applied to the material corresponding to the temperature variation (see details in the Supporting Information). The general Sawyer-Tower (ST) circuit is redesigned by inductions of a Diode and a SWitch (named as DSW circuit, see Figure S2b, Supporting Information) to evaluate the D–E loop and simultaneously harvest the net energy. In Figure 1 a, a schematic of our cycle (ABC 1D) is shown. The AB path is the same as the Olsen cycle. The material is then isolated and the electric displacement D is kept constant while the temperature is increased to Thigh. The voltage is increased to the E2 value (path BC 1) based on the electrothermodynamic equation:[15, 16] d D/d t= ε· d E/d t+ p· d T/d t, where D, E, T, ε, t, and p are the electric displacement, electric field, temperature, dielectric permittivity, time, and pyroelectric coefficient, respectively (see details in the Supporting Information). Then, the material is reconnected to the circuit, and the state moves to point D (path C1d). Finally, temperature is decreased back to Tlow, and the D–E loop is closed. The triangular area BC 1C is the additional potential compared to the Olsen cycle with the same externally applied E. In Figure 1 b, loops of Olsen cycle (ABCD)How much wasted heat exists, and how can we utilize it as renewable energy? These questions have been explored in automobile applications. Here, we present an innovative electrothermodynamic cycle based on temporal temperature variations (d T/d t); the pyroelectric effect, instead of spatial temperature gradient (d T/d x); and the Seebeck effect. Practical energy is successfully generated in both an Operando analysis and real engine dynamometer experiments. The main generating origin is revealed as a combination of a crystal structure change and a dipole change phenomenon that corresponds to the …
