Optimization and improvement of thermal energy harvesting by using pyroelectric materials

•The purpose of our work is to harvest thermal energy using a pyroelectric material.•This kind of material is able to convert thermal energy to electrical energy only with the presence of a temperature variation.•A commercial PZT ceramic was used, heating and cooling are provided by infrared rays.•O...
