HARNESSING GREEN ENERGY WITH SUSTAINABLE MULTIFERROIC MATERIALS

Abstract

This chapter delves into the potential of multiferroic materials in revolutionizing green energy applications. Multiferroic materials exhibit the coexistence of multiple ferroic orders, including ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism, offering unique opportunities for energy conversion, storage, and harvesting. The chapter explores fundamental principles, synthesis methods, and applications of multiferroic materials in sustainable energy production and storage devices. Various applications such as magnetoelectric generators, piezoelectric energy harvesters, multiferroic capacitors, and magnetoelectric converters are discussed, highlighting their role in advancing green energy technologies. Challenges and future perspectives are also addressed, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to overcome barriers and unlock the full potential of multiferroic materials in the transition towards a sustainable energy future.
