  • Abstract

    This research investigates the possibility of Piezoelectric (PE) materials in providing sustainable and renewable energy solutions, focusing ‎on Energy Harvesting (EH) and self-sustaining innovative sensing processes within various systems like Photovoltaic (PV) cells. This ‎study emphasizes the inadequacy of traditional construction materials, such as basic cement paste, in EH. It explores contemporary ‎techniques that enhance the PE properties of cement-based materials through novel admixtures and physical procedures. The study examines ‎the extensive application of PE and PV substances in many areas, including medical care, monitoring of the environment, and electronic ‎goods, driven by the demand for wireless sensing modules and integrated microsystems requiring a dependable power source. This research ‎provides an unbiased evaluation of the environmental benefits, contemporary advancements, difficulties, and prospects in PE and PV EH, ‎including investigating lead-free materials and creating mixed EH gadgets‎.
