| Popis: | Electrocaloric effect (ECE) offers an efficient and environmentally friendly route for solid-state cooling. Either positive or negative ECE could exhibit a large adiabatic temperature change (Δ T). Compared to the positive electrocaloric response, the investigation of negative ECE is lagging behind, largely due to the fact that its origin is still elusive. In this work, the negative ECE behavior of conventional ferroelectric thin films, namely 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (BNBT), was studied. A remarkable Δ T of −26.1 K was acquired near 160 °C under a moderate electric field of 875 kV/cm, attributing to the ferroelectric phase transition in the polar nanoregions from rhombohedral ( R3c) to tetragonal ( P4bm), as confirmed by temperature-dependent dielectric permittivity, Raman spectra, and x-ray reciprocal space mapping. The BNBT thin film presents a high electrocaloric coefficient (Δ T/Δ E) of 0.0298 K cm kV−1, transcending that of the most reported negative electrocaloric response of thin films. |
