Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Solid-State Physics
  • Thermodynamics

Background:

  • Solid-state cooling using electrocaloric effects is promising for microdevices.
  • Limited dipolar entropy change (ΔS) hinders practical applications of current electrocaloric materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To significantly improve the electrocaloric response (ΔS) of ferroelectric thin films near room temperature.
  • To develop a universal strategy for enhancing electrocaloric performance in Bi-based ferroelectric materials.

Main Methods:

  • Engineered nanodomain structures in 0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (BNBT) thin films by modulating growth conditions.
  • Investigated changes in zero-field polar states, saturation polarization, and polar correlation strength.
  • Measured electrocaloric properties, including entropy change (ΔS) and adiabatic temperature change (ΔT), under applied electric fields.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a giant ΔS of ~ -48.5 J K⁻¹ kg⁻¹ (ΔT ≈ 27.3 K) near room temperature with a moderate electric field (1330 kV cm⁻¹).
  • Demonstrated a wide operating temperature window (>70 °C) and good fatigue endurance (>5 × 10⁷ cycles).
  • Observed increased zero-field polar states and saturation polarization due to stabilized tetragonal nanoclusters.

Conclusions:

  • Nanodomain structure engineering is an effective strategy to boost the electrocaloric performance of BNBT thin films.
  • The developed method offers a pathway for advanced solid-state cooling solutions for microdevices.
  • This approach provides a universal design strategy for improving Bi-based ferroelectric thin films for near-room-temperature applications.
