| الوصف: | Abstract Electrocaloric refrigeration which is environmentally benign has attracted considerable attention. In distinction to ferroelectric materials, which exhibit an extremely high positive electrocaloric effect near the Curie temperature, antiferroelectric materials represented by PbZrO3 have a specific negative electrocaloric effect, i.e., electric field decreases the temperature of the materials. However, the explanation of the microscopic mechanism of the negative electrocaloric effect is still unclear, and further research is still needed to provide a theoretical basis for the negative electrocaloric effect enhancement. Herein, the antiferroelectric phase-field model has been proposed to design polar boundaries enhancing antiferroelectric negative electrocaloric performance in PbZrO3-based materials. Based on this, we have simulated the polarization response and domain switching process of the temperature and electric field-induced antiferroelectric—ferroelectric phase transition. It is shown that the temperature range tends to increase as the density of polar boundaries increases from the antiferroelectric stripe domain, polymorphic domain to the nanodomain. Among them, the peak adiabatic temperature change of antiferroelectric nanodomains can reach −13.05 K at 84 kV/cm, and a wide temperature range of about 75 K can be realized at 42 kV/cm. We expect these discoveries to spur further interest in the potential applications of antiferroelectric materials for next-generation refrigeration devices. |
