Electrocaloric Materials

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials ((ENG.MAT.,volume 34))

Abstract

Given that conventional refrigeration is associated with high energy consumption and greenhouse gases, there is considerable interest in alternative technologies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration, based on electric field-driven temperature/entropy changes near phase transitions of ferroelectric materials, is a candidate solid-state cooling technology. However, EC refrigeration is difficult to implement because cooling devices based on bulk or films present orthogonal difficulties.
