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

A giant barocaloric effect (BCE) in a molecular material Fe3 (bntrz) 6 (tcnset) 6 (FBT) is
reported, where bntrz= 4‐(benzyl)‐1, 2, 4‐triazole and tcnset= 1, 1, 3, 3‐tetracyano‐2 …

Magnetocaloric refrigeration has remained a promising alternative to conventional
refrigeration for the last few decades. The delay in reaching the market is significantly based …

The extremely large latent heat exchanged in phase transitions involving strong molecular
orientational disordering has recently led to the proposal of plastic crystals as a feasible …

Emerging caloric cooling technology provides a green alternative to conventional vapor-
compression technology which brings about serious environmental problems. However, the …

Highlights Barocaloric methods offer the widest range among solid-state caloric materials
where to pick and choose. However, ideal barocaloric materials do not exist and a trade-off …

Barocaloric is the more recent among the caloric technologies employing solid-state
materials. The name derives from BaroCaloric Effect (BCE), the phenomenon responsible of …

The materials combining high-entropy alloys with good mechanical properties and magnetic
materials with a significant magnetocaloric effect are among the best candidates for …

Barocaloric materials have the potential to offer greener and more efficient alternatives to
conventional refrigerants that exploit vapor compression for cooling and heating …

One of the greatest obstacles to the real application of solid-state refrigeration is the huge
driving fields. Here, we report a giant barocaloric effect in inorganic NH4I with reversible …
