Article Abstract

This paper presents a nonlinear magnetoelectric energy harvester which has the potential to harvest vibrational energy over a wide bandwidth in arbitrary motion directions. Three springs with equal intersection angles are adopted to absorb the multi-directional vibration energy. Magnetic interaction between the magnets and ME transducers allows the nonlinear motion with enhanced harvesting frequency range. Very good agreement is observed between the numerical and experimental open-circuit voltage output frequency response curves. The experimental results show that the harvester can harvest vibrational energy in an arbitrary direction, exhibiting a further bandwidth of 5.2 Hz. This study provides a new solution to effectively use the magnetoelectric energy harvester for multi-directional and bandwidth vibrational energy scavenging in the surrounding environment.

With the increasing demand for wind energy in the electric power generation industry, optimizing robust and efficient control strategies is essential for a wind energy conversion system (WECS). In this regard, this study proposes a novel hybrid control strategy for wind power systems directly coupled to a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The contribution of this work is to propose a control strategy design based on a combination of the nonlinear Backstepping approach for system stabilization according to Lyapunov theory and the application of artificial neural network to maximize energy harvesting regardless of wind speed fluctuations.

Transient electronics that can degrade after fulfilling their designed functionalities offer transformative potentials in biomedical implants (eliminating secondary surgeries), ecofriendly consumer electronics (reducing e-waste), and secure systems. However, the development of reliable transient energy supplies remains a critical challenge, thus limiting their widespread implementation. Among various solutions, wireless power supplies via near-field inductive coupling stand out as particularly promising candidates.

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials and are considered for various applications such as sensing, water or gas capture, and water purification. MIL-88 A (Fe) is one of the earliest and most researched flexible MOFs, but to date, there is a lack in the structural aspects that govern its dynamic behaviour. Here, we report the first crystal structure of DMF-solvated MIL-88 A and investigate the impact of real structure effects on the dynamic behaviour of MIL-88 A (Fe), particularly upon water adsorption.
