The electrocaloric effect in intrinsic-acceptor-doped Ba(Ti,Ce)O3-(Ba,Ca)TiO3 ceramics
2020
Abstract The electrocaloric effect (ECE) of intrinsic-acceptor-doped ferroelectric system (1-x)Ba(Ti0.9Ce0.1)O3-x(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (x = 0.3,0.5) has been studied by indirect and direct approaches. It was found that the indirect approach based on Maxwell equation is not appropriate for measuring the ECE of this acceptor-doped system. More importantly, a relatively large electrocaloric response is obtained at temperatures far below TC (maximum difference ~75 °C), which can reach 75%~90% of the maximum electrocaloric effect near TC. The unique characteristics of this acceptor-doped system have been explained by the existence of orientable defect dipoles. Our work could stimulate the design of temperature-stable electrocaloric effect through acceptor-doping.
