A novel strategy to enhance the generating power of ionic polymer metal composites through magnetoelectricity

Abstract In this paper, we put forward a method to enhance the output power of ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) through magnetic field by combining ion-electronic and magnetoelectric effects. Firstly, confirmed that total voltage IPMC deformation originates from vector superposition effects when applied field. The open circuit were experimentally investigated adjusting deflecting frequency intensity. As intensity increase, increased caused show an upward trend. Then, experimental results analyzed verified piezoelectric theory. has linear relationship with nothing do inherent parameters itself. Finally, performed simulation practical tests verify energy harvesting effect strategy. During test water flow fluctuation, was 41.91% 110.03%, which indicates strategy excellent performance in applications. By study, generation explored improved multiple physical mechanisms.
