[0006] Currently, most pyroelectric materials are either high-temperature or low-temperature pyroelectric, limiting their applications and hindering widespread use. The phase transition temperature of pyroelectric materials at room temperature means they can achieve efficient energy conversion amidst temperature fluctuations in the natural environment. This allows these materials to fully utilize their pyroelectric effect under common room temperature conditions, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency. Since room temperature is the typical temperature range for daily life and most industrial applications, the phase transition temperature of pyroelectric materials matching room temperature makes them more practical. Therefore, developing a room-temperature phase pyroelectric material is of great significance. Summary of the Invention
