Compared with the previous research, this AEH can harvest multi-directional acoustic energy, has a widened resonance frequency band, and has an improved energy conversion efficiency. When the length of resonator\u2019s neck is changed, the acoustic resonant frequency of the two resonators is different. The theoretical models of output voltage and output power were studied, and the relationship of output performance with frequency was obtained. The results showed that this AEH can operate efficiently in a frequency band of about 470 Hz. Its output voltage was found to be about 28 mV, and its output power was found to be about 0.05 \u03bcW. The power density of this AEH was found to be about 12.7 \u00b5W\/cm2. Therefore, this AEH could be widely used in implantable medical devices such as implantable cardiac pacemakers, cochlear implants, and retinal prosthesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20247275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,21]],"date-time":"2020-12-21T01:01:08Z","timestamp":1608512468000},"page":"7275","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Enhanced Quarter Spherical Acoustic Energy Harvester Based on Dual Helmholtz Resonators"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Xincun","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhicheng","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Licheng","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1032-8793","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Debo","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic and Optical Engineering &amp; College of Microelectronics, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunication, Nanjing 210023, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1080\/10584580590964574","article-title":"Design considerations for mems-scale piezoelectric mechanical vibration energy harvesters","volume":"71","author":"Dutoit","year":"2005","journal-title":"Integr.
