Abstract: This paper reviews the piezoelectric energy harvesting from mechanical vibration. The recent development in the microelectronic devices and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) requires continuous power source for better performance. Many researchers have been done to develop a permanent portable power source for microelectronic devices. Micro energy harvesting (MEH) consists of two basic elements; freely available energy and transducer. Energy is everywhere around us in different forms. The energy conversion ability of piezoelectric energy harvester is high among different MEH techniques. A cantilever type piezoelectric energy harvester under different shapes is mostly studied in the last few years. The output of piezoelectric harvester depends upon the deflection produced, more deflection led to more electrical output. The deflection in cantilever beam under different shapes is different. This review paper presents a comparison of different piezoelectric cantilever beam shapes and output generated analyzed in the last decade.
