SbSI nanowires were fabricated under ultrasonic treatment. Sonochemical synthesis was performed in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles. The mean lateral dimension da = 68(2) nm and the length La = 2.52(7) \u00b5m of the SbSI nanowires were determined. TiO2 nanoparticles served as binders in the synthesized nanocomposite, which allowed for the preparation of dense films via the simple drop-casting method. The SbSI\u2013TiO2 nanocomposite film was sandwiched between gold and indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. The Curie temperature of TC = 294(2) K was evaluated and confirmed to be consistent with the data reported in the literature for ferroelectric SbSI. The SbSI\u2013TiO2 device was subjected to periodic thermal fluctuations. The measured pyroelectric signals were highly correlated with the temperature change waveforms. The magnitude of the pyroelectric current was found to be a linear function of the temperature change rate. The high value of the pyroelectric coefficient p = 264(7) nC\/(cm2\u00b7K) was determined for the SbSI\u2013TiO2 nanocomposite. When the rate of temperature change was equal dT\/dt = 62.5 mK\/s, the maximum and average surface power densities of the SbSI\u2013TiO2 nanogenerator reached 8.39(2) and 2.57(2) \u00b5W\/m2, respectively.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22010069","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]],"date-time":"2021-12-23T21:40:21Z","timestamp":1640295621000},"page":"69","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Pyroelectric Nanogenerator Based on an SbSI\u2013TiO2 Nanocomposite"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6065-4175","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krystian","family":"Mistewicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics\u2014Center for Science and Education, Silesian University of Technology, Krasi\u0144skiego 8, 40-019 Katowice, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1038\/s41427-019-0125-y","article-title":"New approach to waste-heat energy harvesting: Pyroelectric energy conversion","volume":"11","author":"Pandya","year":"2019","journal-title":"NPG Asia Mater."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1037","DOI":"10.1016\/j.energy.2019.04.001","article-title":"Perspectives for low-temperature waste heat recovery","volume":"176","author":"Xu","year":"2019","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1039\/C7EE03026F","article-title":"Emerging electrochemical and membrane-based systems to convert low-grade heat to electricity","volume":"11","author":"Rahimi","year":"2018","journal-title":"Energy Environ.
