Enhancement of electrocaloric response and elevated energy-storage characteristics in lead-free BCTZ-ZN ceramics

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Lead-free BCTZ- x ZN ceramics enable cooling & energy storage. We report that BCTZ-2.5ZN is ideal for eco-friendly electronics, with a peak electrocaloric response of 0.68 K at 340 K, W rec = 150 mJ cm −3 ( η = 83%), Δ S = 1.14 J kg K −1 , and COP = 2.
