Abstrakt: Today, ≈20% of the electric consumption is devoted to refrigeration; while, ≈50% of the final energy is dedicated to heating applications. In this scenario, many cooling devices and heat-pumps are transitioning toward the use of CO 2 as an eco-friendly refrigerant, favoring carbon circular economy. Nevertheless, CO 2 still has some limitations, such as large operating pressures (70-150 bar) and a critical point at 31 °C, which compromises efficiency and increases technological complexity. Very recently, an innovative breathing-caloric mechanism in the MIL-53(Al) compound is reported, which implies gas adsorption under CO 2 pressurization boosted by structural transitions and which overcomes the limitations of stand-alone CO 2 . Here, the breathing-caloric-like effects of MOF-508b are reported, surpassing by 40% those of MIL-53(Al). Moreover, the first thermometry device operating at room temperature and under the application of only 26 bar of CO 2 is presented. Under those conditions, this material presents values of ΔT ≈ 30 K, reaching heating temperatures of 56 °C and cooling temperatures of -10 °C, which are already useful for space heating, air-conditioning, food refrigeration, and freezing applications.
