Abstract
Information and communication technologies (ICT) are major features of smart cities. Smart sensing devices will benefit from 5 G and the Internet of Things, which will enable them to communicate in a safe and timely manner. However, the need for sustainable power sources and self-powered active sensing devices will continue to be a major issue in this sector. Since their discovery, piezoelectric energy harvesters have demonstrated a significant ability to power wireless sensor nodes, and their application in a wide range of systems, including intelligent transportation, smart healthcare, human-machine interfaces, and security systems, has been systematically investigated. Piezoelectric energy-harvesting systems are promising candidates not only for sustainably powering wireless sensor nodes but also for the development of intelligent and active self-powered sensors with a wide range of applications. In this paper, the various applications of piezoelectric energy harvesters in powering Internet of Things sensors and devices in smart cities are discussed and reviewed.
