AbstractSolid-state refrigeration which is environmentally benign has attracted considerable attention. Mechanocaloric (mC) materials, in which the phase transitions can be induced by mechanical stresses, represent one of the most promising types of solid-state caloric materials. Herein, we have developed a thermodynamic phenomenological model and predicted extraordinarily large elastocaloric (eC) strengths for the (111)-oriented metal-free perovskite ferroelectric [MDABCO](NH4)I3 thin-films. The predicted room temperature isothermal eC ΔSeC/Δσ (eC entropy change under unit stress change) and adiabatic eC ΔTeC/Δσ (eC temperature change under unit stress change) for [MDABCO](NH4)I3 are −60.0 J K−1 kg−1 GPa−1 and 17.9 K GPa−1, respectively, which are 20 times higher than the traditional ferroelectric oxides such as BaTiO3 thin films. We have also demonstrated that the eC performance can be improved by reducing the Young’s modulus or enhancing the thermal expansion coefficient (which could be realized through chemical doping, etc.). We expect these discoveries to spur further interest in the potential applications of metal-free organic ferroelectrics materials towards next-generation eC refrigeration devices.

Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) nano thin films have been introduced as a hole buffer layer in organic solar cells with active layer of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). The surface morphology and opto-electrical properties of the CoPc thin films have made it an applicable materials for organic solar cells. The nano-thin films of CoPc are continuously distributed over the studied area and the roughness are around 5 to 7 nm for all thickness. The dominant optical absorptions are in the visible range of wavelengths 500 to 800 nm. The CoPc buffer layer is suitable for energy level matching in energy level diagram and enhances the absorption spectrum as well, which facilitate the charge carrier generation, increases charge transport, decreases charge recombination, hence enhance the all device parameters short circuit current density (Jsc), open circuit voltage (Voc) and fill factor (FF). The solar cells efficiency increases by ˜70% and the fill factor increases by ˜45% in comparison to the standard cells. The increase in efficiency and the fill factors of the solar cells may also be attributed to the increasing of shunt and lowering the series resistance of the cells. The cole–cole plots of the devices may be modeled in electrical circuit as a single parallel resistance Rb and capacitance Cb network with a series resistance Rc.
