Colossal reversible barocaloric effects in layered hybrid perovskite (C10H21NH3)2MnCl4 under low pressure near room temperature

Barocaloric effects in a layered hybrid organic–inorganic compound, (C10H21NH3)2MnCl4, that are reversible and colossal under pressure changes below 0.1 GPa are reported. This barocaloric performance originates in a phase transition characterized by different features: A strong disordering of the or...

Sumario:Barocaloric effects in a layered hybrid organic–inorganic compound, (C10H21NH3)2MnCl4, that are reversible and colossal under pressure changes below 0.1 GPa are reported. This barocaloric performance originates in a phase transition characterized by different features: A strong disordering of the organic chains, a very large volume change, a very large sensitivity of the transition temperature to pressure and a small hysteresis. The obtained values are unprecedented among solid-state cooling materials at such low pressure changes and demonstrate that colossal effects can be obtained in compounds other than plastic crystals. The temperature-pressure phase diagram displays a triple point indicating enantiotropy at high pressure.
