Abstract

The electrocaloric effect (ECE) offers a pathway to environmentally sustainable and easily miniaturized refrigeration technology, positioning it as a front-runner for the next generation of solid-state cooling solutions. This research unveils a remarkable ECE in a finely tuned (Ba_0.86Ca_0.14)_0.98La_0.02Ti_0.92Sn_0.08O₃ ceramic, exhibiting a temperature shift (ΔT) of 1.6 K across more than 85% of the maximum ΔT (ΔT_max) and spanning an exceptionally wide operational range of 92 K. Our investigation on dielectric responses and ferroelectric polarization-electric field (P–E) loops suggests that the broad operational scope results from the fragmentation of extended ferroelectric domains into smaller domains and polar nano-regions (PNRs) supported by PFM analysis. Furthermore, the introduction of La enhances spontaneous polarization by significantly extending the maximum electric field that can be applied, facilitating high-performance ECE at ambient temperature. This study positions BaTiO₃-based lead-free ceramic as a sustainable alternative for addressing the cooling demands of modern electronic components, marking a significant stride toward next-generation solid-state refrigeration.

无铅 BaTiO3 基陶瓷中的成分调控显著增强了电致发光效应

电致冷效应（ECE）为环境可持续发展和易于微型化的制冷技术提供了一条途径，使其成为下一代固态制冷解决方案的领跑者。这项研究揭示了一种经过微调的 (Ba0.86Ca0.14)0.98La0.02Ti0.92Sn0.08O3 陶瓷中的显著 ECE，在超过 85% 的最大 ΔT (ΔTmax)范围内显示出 1.6 K 的温度偏移 (ΔT)，并跨越 92 K 的超宽工作范围。我们对介电响应和铁电极化-电场（P-E）环路的研究表明，之所以能实现如此宽的工作范围，是因为扩展的铁电畴被分割成更小的畴和极性纳米区域（PNR），这一点得到了 PFM 分析的支持。此外，La 的引入通过显著扩展可施加的最大电场来增强自发极化，从而促进了环境温度下的高性能 ECE。这项研究将基于 BaTiO3 的无铅陶瓷定位为满足现代电子元件冷却需求的可持续替代品，标志着向下一代固态制冷迈出了重要一步。
