Calls to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and demands for higher energy efficiency
continue to drive research into alternative cooling and refrigeration technologies. The caloric …

Magnetically driven thermal changes in magnetocaloric materials have, for several decades,
been exploited to pump heat near room temperature. By contrast, their electrocaloric and …

Electrocaloric cooling technologies, enabled by the discovery of the giant electrocaloric
effect in dielectrics more than a decade ago, represents a zero-global-warming-potential …

Global environmental concerns on the toxicity of lead‐based piezoelectrics impel the great
mass fervor on investigations of lead‐free alternatives. Barium titanate (BaTiO3, BT) …

Highlights This article systematically reviews the thermal management wearables with a
specific emphasis on materials and strategies to regulate the human body temperature …

Dielectric composites boost the family of energy storage and conversion materials as they
can take full advantage of both the matrix and filler. This review aims at summarizing the …

This book provides the basis for engineering a new, alternative form of technology, ie,
magnetocaloric energy conversion. It has been written for postgraduate students, engineers …

The improvement of the electrocaloric effect (ECE) in (1− x)(Na 0.5 Bi 0.5) TiO 3− x SrTiO3
(NBT-ST) lead-free relaxor ferroelectric ceramics was determined by indirect measurements …

The electrocaloric effect demands the maximized degree of freedom (DOF) of polar domains
and the lowest energy barrier to facilitate the transition of polarization. However, optimization …

It has been ten years since the discovery of the giant electrocaloric effect in ferroelectric
materials showed that it is possible to employ this effect for substantial cooling applications …
