The electrocaloric effect (ECE), which refers to changes in the temperature of a material when an electric field is applied to or removed from the material, is one of the key phenomena of future highly efficient solid-state refrigeration devices.

AbstractElectrocaloric effect driven by electric fields displays great potential in realizing highly efficient solid-state refrigeration. Nevertheless, most known electrocaloric materials exhibit relatively poor cooling performance near room temperature, which hinders their further applications. The emerging family of hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics, which exhibits superior structural diversity, large heat exchange and broad property tenability, offers an ideal platform. Herein, we report an exceptionally large electrocaloric effect near room temperature in a designed hybrid perovskite ferroelectric [(CH3)2CHCH2NH3]2PbCl4, which exhibits a sharp first-order phase transition at 302 K, superior spontaneous polarization (>4.8 μC/cm2) and relatively small coercive field (<15 kV/cm). Strikingly, a large isothermal entropy change ΔS of 25.64 J/kg/K and adiabatic temperature change ΔT of 11.06 K under a small electric field ΔE of 29.7 kV/cm at room temperature are achieved, with giant electrocaloric strengths of isothermal ΔS/ΔE of 0.86 J·cm/kg/K/kV and adiabatic ΔT/ΔE of 370 mK·cm/kV, which is larger than those of traditional ferroelectrics. This work presents a general approach to the design of hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics, as well as provides a family of candidate materials with potentially prominent electrocaloric performance for room temperature solid-state refrigeration.

AbstractThe specific heat, thermal expansion, permittivity, and electrocaloric effect in bulk of BaTiO_3 (BT) samples in the form of nano- (nBT-500 nm) and micro- (mBT-1200 nm) ceramics fabricated using spark plasma sintering and solid-state plasma techniques have been investigated. The size effect has been reflected, to a great extent, in the suppression of the specific heat and thermal expansion anomalies and in the changes in the temperatures and entropies of phase transitions and permittivity, and a decrease in the maximum intensive electrocaloric effect: $$\Delta T_{{{\text{AD}}}}^{{\max }}$$ = 29 mK ( E = 2.0 kV/cm) for nBT and $$\Delta T_{{{\text{AD}}}}^{{\max }}$$ = 70 mK ( E = 2.5 kV/cm) for mBT. The conductivity growth at temperatures above 360 K leads to the significant irreversible heating of the samples due to the Joule heat release in the applied electric field, which dominates over the electrocaloric effect.
