Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) energy harvester's research interests have been increasing rapidly, indicating that the topic has given significant contributions to the sustainable development of energy alternatives. Although many research activities have been conducted and reported since several years ago, only limited efforts have been made to analyze the research's impact in this area. In this paper, we report a bibliometric analysis on the research progress in MEMS for energy harvester. VOSviewer software is used to support the analyst that includes the distributions of the publication journals, authors, affiliations and the highly cited papers reporting the progress as well as the frequency of keywords and their relationships found in the search engine. The analysis is mainly aimed to identify the research map based on publication reports. 1772 papers were initially identified and summarized based on the analysis on three focused mainstream research topics in MEMS for alternative energy, such as MEMS energy harvester, power harvesting and energy scavenging, other term analogies to MEMS such as micromachines and microsystem were included in the analysis parameter. As a result, it is found that the study on the MEMS energy harvester is mostly categorized in the engineering field, while China has been conducting the most projects. The Journal MEMS and Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering have been the most journals publishing reports on MEMS energy harvester's research progress. Based on these analyses, some potential issues in future MEMS energy harvester research have been identified, including the contributions of new materials, the MEMS new structure's involvement, and the optimization of the vibration concepts and principles of MEMS energy harvester. These analyses would give an overview on the progress of the development and improvement in MEMS energy harvester and give a proper guideline for future MEMS research in the energy field.
微机电系统（MEMS）能量收集器的研究兴趣一直在迅速增长，这表明该主题为能源替代品的可持续发展做出了重大贡献。尽管自几年前以来已经开展并报道了许多研究活动，但在分析该领域研究的影响方面所做的努力有限。在本文中，我们报告了对用于能量收集器的MEMS研究进展的文献计量分析。VOSviewer软件用于辅助分析，内容包括出版期刊、作者、机构的分布情况，以及报告进展的高被引论文，还有在搜索引擎中找到的关键词频率及其关系。该分析主要旨在根据出版报告确定研究图谱。基于对用于替代能源的MEMS中三个重点主流研究主题的分析，最初识别并总结了1772篇论文，例如MEMS能量收集器、功率收集和能量 scavenging，分析参数中还包括与MEMS类似的其他术语，如微机械和微系统。结果发现，对MEMS能量收集器的研究大多归类于工程领域，而中国开展的项目最多。《微机电系统》杂志和《微机械与微工程杂志》是发表关于MEMS能量收集器研究进展报告最多的期刊。基于这些分析，确定了未来MEMS能量收集器研究中的一些潜在问题，包括新材料的贡献、MEMS新结构的参与，以及MEMS能量收集器振动概念和原理的优化。这些分析将概述MEMS能量收集器的发展和改进进展，并为未来能源领域的MEMS研究提供适当的指导。
