Large electrocaloric effect in lead-free Ba1-xCaxTi1-yZryO3 ceramics under strong electric field at room-temperature
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract In this study, lead-free Ba1-xCaxZryTi1-yO3 (BCTZ(x, y)) ceramics were prepared by means of the classic solid-state reaction method. The morphotropic phase transition (MPB) from the orthorhombic to the tetragonal phase (O-T) was identified in this composition. Besides, the identification of those two structures at room temperature (RT) was made possible thanks to an X-ray diffraction (XRD) study. In order to determine the phase transitions dielectric measurements were conducted. Based on Maxwell equation, the electrocaloric (EC) effect in the studied ceramics was performed via the indirect method. The compositions gave maximum EC temperature changes (ΔT) at above their TC on application of a 3 kV/mm electric field. These temperature changes are ΔT = 0.565 K at TEC= 392 K, ΔT = 0.548 K at TEC= 365 K and ΔT = 0.235 K at TEC= 307 K for BCZT(10%,5%), BCZT(13%,10%) and BCZT(20%,15%), respectively. At RT, these compositions provided a very interesting EC coefficient (ξ = ΔT/ΔE) compared to the pure BaTiO3 (BT). These values, lying between 0.105 Kmm/kV and 0.188Kmm/kV for ΔE = 3 kV/mm, are also greater than those related to some lead-based ferroelectric.
