Abstract:
Probing a lead-free ferroelectric with a large electrocaloric effect (ECE) and excellent temperature stability is a challenge in developing solid-state electrocaloric refrigeration. In this work, we constructed 0.93(Na1/2Bi1/2)TiO3-0.07[(1 - x)BaTiO3-x(Nd-2/3 square(1/3))(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O-3] (NZN100x) lead-free ferroelectric ceramics by introducing A-site vacancies and B-site complex cations simultaneously. Direct electrocaloric measurement shows that, for x = 0.14, a high Delta T of 1.17 K was obtained at 45 degrees C under 5 kV/mm; meanwhile, the sample x = 0.20 gives a large Delta T of 0.91 K with a 10% variation in a wide temperature span (T-span) from 40 to 80 degrees C. The excellent ECE performance opens up a route for designing lead-free electrocaloric materials based on the synergic effect of composition design and defect engineering.
