Abstract

In this study, (Ba,Ca)(Zr,Ti)O3 ferroelectric ceramic was fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction process. The electrocaloric effect was investigated using P–E hysteresis loop characteristics in a wide temperature range from room temperature to 135°C. The results showed that the temperature change ΔT could be calculated as a function of temperature using Maxwell’s relation, reaching a maximum value of ~0.096°C at 110°C under an applied electric field of 15.3 kV/cm.
