收集余热用于有用的目的是提高一次能源利用效率的一个重要组成部分。今天，热释电能量转换等方法因其将浪费的能量重新转化为有用能量的能力而重新受到人们的兴趣。从这一角度出发，综述了这些方法的必要性、基本原理和操作过程，以及热释电能量转换背后的材料和器件要求，并讨论了这一领域的发展潜力。
Harvesting waste heat for useful purposes is an essential component of improving the efficiency of primary energy utilization. Today, approaches such as pyroelectric energy conversion are receiving renewed interest for their ability to turn wasted energy back into useful energy. From this perspective, the need for these approaches, the basic mechanisms and processes underlying their operation, and the material and device requirements behind pyroelectric energy conversion are reviewed, and the potential for advances in this area is also discussed.
