The magnetocaloric effect properties for potential applications of magnetic refrigerator technology: a review

Abstract

In the pursuit of a clean and environmentally friendly future, magnetic refrigerator technology based on the magnetocaloric effect has been proposed as a replacement for conventional refrigeration technologies characterized by inefficient energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and ozone depletion. This paper presents an in-depth exploration of the current state of research on magnetocaloric effect (MCE) materials by, examining various types of MCE materials and their respective potentials. The focus is particularly directed towards perovskite manganite materials because of their numerous advantages over other materials. These advantages include a wide working temperature range, easily adjustable Curie temperature around room temperature, excellent chemical stability, cost-effective production processes, negligible magnetic and thermal hysteresis properties, as well as competitive values for −ΔSM and ΔTad compared to other materials. Additionally, crucial parameters defining the MCE properties of perovskite manganite materials are comprehensively discussed, both at a fundamental level and in detail.
