Piezoelectric vibration energy harvesters (PVEHs) have demonstrated their potential for sustainable energy generation from diverse ambient vibrations for low-power devices and systems. However, great challenges remain concerning harvesting more energy from low-frequency input sources and broadband random excitations. In this paper, a novel PVEH featuring a lead zirconate titanate (PZT) hollowed trapezoidal cantilever beam is proposed, simulated, optimized and fabricated to effectively broaden its output bandwidth at low frequency ranges. Under 1 g acceleration, the traditional solid PVEH showed a resonant frequency of 47.80 Hz and a maximum output power density of 14.22 mW/cm³, while the proposed PVEH showed two resonant frequencies of 21.30 Hz and 50.40 Hz. Compared to the traditional solid PVEH, the first-order resonant frequency was reduced by 55.44% and the corresponding maximum output power density was 3.3 times higher in the proposed PVEH. Furthermore, a parallel synchronized switch harvesting inductor quadruple voltage rectifier (P-SSHI-QVR) circuit is designed to extract energy from the proposed PVEH. For the proposed PVEH incorporating the P-SSHI-QVR circuit, the maximum stored voltage was 20.49 V at a first-order resonant frequency of 21.30 Hz and 5.68 V at a second-order resonant frequency of 50.40 Hz, with corresponding maximum stored powers of 36.89 μW and 2.97 μW, respectively. This study verified the feasibility of the optimized design through simulation and experimental comparison.
