Long description:
The Electrocaloric Effect: Materials and Applications reviews the fundamentals of the electrocaloric effect, the most relevant electrocaloric materials, and electrocaloric measurements and device applications. The book introduces the electrocaloric effect, along with modeling and simulations of this effect. Then, it addresses the latest advances in synthesis, characterization and optimization of the most relevant electrocaloric materials, including ferroelectric materials, liquid materials, lead-free materials, polymers and composites. Finally, there is a review of the latest techniques in measurement and applications in refrigeration and cooling and a discussion of the advantages, challenges and perspectives of the future of electrocaloric refrigeration.


  • Provides a comprehensive introduction to the electrocaloric effect including experimental techniques to measure, model, and simulate the effect
  • Reviews the most relevant electrocaloric materials such as composites, polymers, metal oxides, ferroelectric materials, and more
  • Touches on the design and application of electrocaloric materials for devices with potential cooling and refrigeration applications
