This paper presents a novel, long-type of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric laminate composite design in which the layers are, respectively, magnetized/poled along their length axes, and a theory for modeling its behavior. Using piezoelectric and magnetostrictive constitutive equations, and an equation of motion, a magneto-elastoelectric bieffect equivalent circuit is developed. The circuit is used to predict the longitudinal and transverse magnetoelectric (ME) voltage coefficients of our Terfenol-D/Pb(Zr1-xTix)O3 laminate design. It is found that the longitudinal ME voltage coefficient is significantly higher (approximately 5x) than the transverse one, and that our new laminate design has significantly higher ME voltage coefficients under small applied direct current (DC) magnetic bias fields than designs reported previously by other groups. Experimental values were found to be coincidental with predicted ones.

Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) have attracted much attention due to their efficient harvesting of vibrational energy from the ambient environment, which demonstrates great potential applications. Unfortunately, their low energy density severely hinders the further development of PEHs. Therefore, it is highly desirable to search for piezoelectric materials with a high transduction coefficient ( × ).

Salinity gradient power (SGP) by reverse electrodialysis is a promising method for converting SGP into electricity. Instead of the conventional approach of using seawater and freshwater, an alternative method involves using highly concentrated salt solutions (brines) alongside seawater or brackish water. Key factors influencing SGP via reverse electrodialysis (SGP-RE) include the properties of ion exchange membranes, particularly their thickness.

Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells, as one of the most promising passivated contact solar cell technologies of the next generation, have the advantages of high conversion efficiency, high open-circuit voltage, low-temperature coefficient, and no potential-induced degradation. For the single-side rear-emitter SHJ solar cells, the n-type carrier selective layer, which serves as the light-incident side, plays a pivotal role in determining the performance of heterojunction devices. Consequently, a superior n-doped layer should exhibit high optical transmittance and minimal optical absorption, along with a substantial effective doping level to guarantee the formation of dark conductivity (σ) and electron-transport capacity.
