Converting waste energy from energy-intensive processes and systems (e.g. combustion engines and furnaces) is crucial to reducing their environmental impact and achieving net-zero emissions. Compact energy harvesters will also be key to powering the exponentially growing smart devices ecosystem that is part of the Internet of Things, thus enabling futuristic applications that can improve our quality of life (e.g. smart homes, smart cities, smart manufacturing, and smart healthcare). To achieve these goals, innovative materials are needed to efficiently convert ambient energy into electricity through various physical mechanisms, such as the photovoltaic effect, thermoelectricity, piezoelectricity, triboelectricity, and radiofrequency wireless power transfer. By bringing together the perspectives of experts in various types of energy harvesting materials, this Roadmap provides extensive insights into recent advances and present challenges in the field. Additionally, the Roadmap analyses the key performance metrics of these technologies in relation to their ultimate energy conversion limits. Building on these insights, the Roadmap outlines promising directions for future research to fully harness the potential of energy harvesting materials for green energy anytime, anywhere.}, number = {4}, urldate = {2025-02-21}, journal = {Journal of Physics: Materials}, author = {Pecunia, Vincenzo and Silva, S Ravi P and Phillips, Jamie D and Artegiani, Elisa and Romeo, Alessandro and Shim, Hongjae and Park, Jongsung and Kim, Jin Hyeok and Yun, Jae Sung and Welch, Gregory C and Larson, Bryon W and Creran, Myles and Laventure, Audrey and Sasitharan, Kezia and Flores-Diaz, Natalie and Freitag, Marina and Xu, Jie and Brown, Thomas M and Li, Benxuan and Wang, Yiwen and Li, Zhe and Hou, Bo and Hamadani, Behrang H and Defay, Emmanuel and Kovacova, Veronika and Glinsek, Sebastjan and Kar-Narayan, Sohini and Bai, Yang and Kim, Da Bin and Cho, Yong Soo and Žukauskaitė, Agnė and Barth, Stephan and Fan, Feng Ru and Wu, Wenzhuo and Costa, Pedro and Del Campo, Javier and Lanceros-Mendez, Senentxu and Khanbareh, Hamideh and Wang, Zhong Lin and Pu, Xiong and Pan, Caofeng and Zhang, Renyun and Xu, Jing and Zhao, Xun and Zhou, Yihao and Chen, Guorui and Tat, Trinny and Ock, Il Woo and Chen, Jun and Graham, Sontyana Adonijah and Yu, Jae Su and Huang, Ling-Zhi and Li, Dan-Dan and Ma, Ming-Guo and Luo, Jikui and Jiang, Feng and Lee, Pooi See and Dudem, Bhaskar and Vivekananthan, Venkateswaran and Kanatzidis, Mercouri G and Xie, Hongyao and Shi, Xiao-Lei and Chen, Zhi-Gang and Riss, Alexander and Parzer, Michael and Garmroudi, Fabian and Bauer, Ernst and Zavanelli, Duncan and Brod, Madison K and Malki, Muath Al and Snyder, G Jeffrey and Kovnir, Kirill and Kauzlarich, Susan M and Uher, Ctirad and Lan, Jinle and Lin, Yuan-Hua and Fonseca, Luis and Morata, Alex and Martin-Gonzalez, Marisol and Pennelli, Giovanni and Berthebaud, David and Mori, Takao and Quinn, Robert J and Bos, Jan-Willem G and Candolfi, Christophe and Gougeon, Patrick and Gall, Philippe and Lenoir, Bertrand and Venkateshvaran, Deepak and Kaestner, Bernd and Zhao, Yunshan and Zhang, Gang and Nonoguchi, Yoshiyuki and Schroeder, Bob C and Bilotti, Emiliano and Menon, Akanksha K and Urban, Jeffrey J and Fenwick, Oliver and Asker, Ceyla and Talin, A Alec and Anthopoulos, Thomas D and Losi, Tommaso and Viola, Fabrizio and Caironi, Mario and Georgiadou, Dimitra G and Ding, Li and Peng, Lian-Mao and Wang, Zhenxing and Wei, Muh-Dey and Negra, Renato and Lemme, Max C and Wagih, Mahmoud and Beeby, Steve and Ibn-Mohammed, Taofeeq and Mustapha, K B and Joshi, A P}, month = oct, year = {2023}, pages = {042501}, }
