1.INTRODUCTION There is an escalating demand for energy resources globally as societal development and expansion continue unabated. This heightened demand has amplified concerns regarding the depletion of conventional energy resources, prompting a search for alternative, sustainable solutions. Modern society has increasingly embraced non-traditional energy sources such as solar cells, wind energy, hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, and biogas plants. However, the burgeoning automotive sector, particularly with the advent of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) and Electric Vehicles (EVs), presents a unique challenge. The immense energy required to power these vehicles necessitates innovative approaches to energy utilization. Piezoelectric materials and their effect play a pivotal role in addressing this challenge.
