Abstract:High-performance electrocaloric materials are essential for the development of solid-state cooling technologies; however, the contradiction of the electrocaloric effect (ECE) and temperature span in ferroelectrics frustrates practical applications. In this work, through modulating oxygen octahedra distortion and short-range polar nanodomains with moderate coupling strength, an EC value of ΔT ∼ 0.30 K with an ultrawide temperature span of 85 K is obtained in the x = 0.04 composition [(0.88 − x)NaNbO 3 −0.12BaTi… Show more
