Description
Pyroelectric energy conversion has generated huge interest for their ability to turn waste heat energy to electricity, thereby greatly reduce carbon emissions in the power sector. A series of novel energy materials used for pyroelectric energy conversion with immensely improved performance. In addition, we established a mature material development approach considering both bottom-up lattice design and top-down grain morphology optimization with much broader interests in the field of functional ferroelectric devices.
