Abstract A rapid surge in the research on piezoelectric sensors is occurring with arrival of Internet Things. Single-phase oxide materials giant voltage coefficient ( g , induced under applied stress) and high Curie temperature T c ) are crucial towards providing desired performance for sensing, especially harsh environmental conditions.
