Abstract
Magnetic refrigeration (MR) with large effective refrigeration capacity (RCeff) across a wide temperature range from 20 K to 77 K is heralded as a pivotal technology for hydrogen liquefaction owing to its inherently high efficiency. Here, Er61-xCo39Gdx (x = 2, 6, 10, 15, 20, 25) amorphous alloys (AAs) with significant refrigeration capacity from 13 K to 80 K were synthesized. Based on these AAs, two amorphous hybrids that demonstrate platform-like magnetic entropy change (−ΔSm) profiles over the full temperature spectrum from hydrogen liquefaction to nitrogen liquefaction were successfully developed, with RCeff≥ 400 J/kg. The wide operation temperature interval (ΔT = 60 ~ 65 K) and the high RCeff implies the exceptional cooling efficiency of the Er61-xCo39Gdx amorphous hybrids as magnetic refrigerants in the hydrogen liquefaction refrigerator.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Alloys and Compounds is intended to serve as an international medium for the publication of work on solid materials comprising compounds as well as alloys. Its great strength lies in the diversity of discipline which it encompasses, drawing together results from materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics.
