Double bond with a licence to chill
Source abstract
Abstract
Electrocaloric effects permit electrically polarizable ceramics and polymers to be driven hot and cold using a voltage, but which class of material is more attractive for heat pumps? Recent work by Qian et al. in Nature demonstrates that double bonds in polymer backbones can improve electrocaloric effects.
