Among these, the electrocaloric (EC) system is considered a promising solid–state cooling method, offering advantages over other cooling technologies, such as low environmental impact, cost–effectiveness, high energy efficiency, and compact device size. To fully harness the potential of EC materials, multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) have emerged as effective and appropriate structures for EC cooling applications. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements and research trends in MLCC–based EC materials, including the fundamentals of the EC effect, the performance of MLCC–based EC materials, EC effect (ECE) measurement, multilayer geometric structure design, and cooling device design based on MLCCs. A comparison of different systems of EC materials, along with an exploration of microstructure improvement, was conducted based on recent studies. A special focus was placed on multilayer structure design for EC performance enhancement, followed by reviewing two types of EC cooling device designs. The review offers insights into the fabrication and characterization of MLCC–based EC materials, offering guidance for future developments in EC material research and practical applications.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143666757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, the crucial factors constraining the further enhancement of imaging quality are the frequency of the device and the intensity of the echo signal. Piezoelectric composites have become a hotspot for ultrasonic transducers and imaging applications due to their excellent properties. However, due to the limitations of the accuracy of the cutting process, the development of piezoelectric/polymer composites is often undermined by undesirable pseudo-vibrations, especially in high-frequency applications, which will significantly reduce energy conversion efficiency. In this study, a novel design method of 1-3 piezoelectric composites with gradient nanoparticle doped polymer is proposed to eliminate the undesired lateral vibrations. Based on the optimized composites, a high-performance composite ultrasonic transducer with a center frequency of 8.51 MHz is prepared. Compared with the traditional composite transducer, the optimized transducer improves the echo voltage amplitude significantly, reaching nearly 3 times. The above advantages are further verified in high-quality ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging. The optimization method has valuable guidance for the design of high-frequency composite transducers, which have great potential in ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging applications.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A phase reconstruction strategy to eliminate Si impact and enhance catalysis was proposed, <em>i.e.</em>, adding MgO, increasing Mn/Fe ratio, and nano-grinding followed by magnetic separation. Nano-Mg<sub>0.19</sub>Mn<sub>1.70</sub>Fe<sub>1.11</sub>O<sub>4</sub> reconstructed from Nano-MnFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub> with 2.3% Si exhibited 8.82 mmol/g CO<sub>2</sub> reduction and 100% carbon conversion at 350 °C. Mg<sup>2+</sup> doping strengthened the conversion of Mn<sup>2+</sup> to highly catalytically active Mn<sup>3+</sup> and Mn<sup>4+</sup> ions, increasing oxygen vacancies and electron transport for C=O rupture.","PeriodicalId":16173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materiomics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143576387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
