Editing Pyroelectricity (section)

=== Challenges and Future Directions ===
Despite their promising applications, pyroelectric materials face several challenges that must be addressed for broader adoption. One key limitation is the trade-off between pyroelectric coefficients, dielectric properties, and thermal stability, which affects overall performance and efficiency. Additionally, the efficiency of pyroelectric energy harvesting is highly dependent on rapid temperature fluctuations, making it challenging to achieve consistent power output in practical applications. Integration into flexible and biocompatible designs for wearable and miniaturized devices also remains a significant hurdle. Ongoing research aims to enhance figures of merit (FoMs), optimize phase transitions near morphotropic boundaries, and develop hybrid systems that combine pyroelectricity with other energy-harvesting mechanisms for multifunctional applications. Despite these challenges, the versatility of pyroelectric materials positions them as critical components for sustainable energy solutions and next-generation sensor technologies.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />
