摘要: Development of a practical electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration system is hindered by four main drawbacks: (a) low adiabatic temperature change near room temperature, (b) requirement large electric field to achieve desirable change, (c) isothermal entropy and (d) thermal capacity. Here, we demonstrate that replacing Ca Sr in the bulk ceramics nominal composition Ba0.85Ca0.15-xSrxTi0.9Zr0.1O3, can address these shortcomings. Evidently, ΔT 2.4 K be obtained (303 K) at relatively (37 kV.cm−1). These numbers indicate an EC performance exceeds most materials, surpassing even those reported for advanced thin-film composites. Further, comparative analysis strength ΔT/ΔE against reveals modified optimum material, cooling applications.
