C. Li, Y. H. Huang, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Cheng Li, Yu Hui Huang, Jian-Jun Wang, Bo Wang, Yong Jun Wu, He Tian, Long-Qing Chen, and Zijian Hong unveils a thermodynamic model that predicts astonishingly high elastocaloric strengths in metal-free perovskite ferroelectric thin films. The results show eC performance significantly surpassing traditional ferroelectric oxides, hinting at their potential for the next generation of refrigeration technology.

Abstract
This paper presents a thermodynamic phenomenological model predicting extraordinarily large elastocaloric (eC) strengths for (111)-oriented metal-free perovskite ferroelectric [MDABCO](NH₄)₁₃ thin films. The predicted room-temperature isothermal eC ΔSc/Δσ and adiabatic eC ΔTad/Δσ are 20 times higher than those of traditional ferroelectric oxides like BaTiO₃ thin films. The eC performance can be improved by reducing Young's modulus or enhancing the thermal expansion coefficient. This research suggests the potential of metal-free organic ferroelectrics for next-generation eC refrigeration devices.
