Popis: Relaxor ferroelectrics, with polar nanoregions (PNRs), are good candidates for electrocaloric (EC) refrigeration. This study investigates the EC performance of the Pb(1−1.5x)La(x)Zr(0.8)Ti(0.2)O(3) relaxor ferroelectric ceramics by the direct measurement using a modified differential scanning calorimeter. All the ceramics exhibit pure perovskite phase with a dense microstructure. The results indicate that the increasing La substitution strengthens the relaxor behaviour, promotes the transition from non-ergodic to ergodic state, and enhances the thermal stability of EC property (instability η
