Abstract

Recent advancements in the development and utilization of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based textiles for energy harvesting have shown promising potential in various applications. PVDF-based textiles have shown versatility and efficiency in converting ambient energy into viable electrical power sources, with applications in medical and health monitoring, sports and fitness, transportation, military and defence, structural health monitoring, industrial automation, environmental sensing, and soft robotics. Key design considerations such as electrode placement, structural integrity, and flexibility optimize the performance and durability of these textile energy harvesters. The article also highlights challenges and limitations associated with these materials and outlines potential future directions, such as wearable electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), biomedical applications, hybrid energy harvesting systems, and advanced materials and nanostructures. Overall, PVDF-based textiles are a sustainable and efficient solution for energy harvesting, with far-reaching implications for various industries and applications.
