Research Topic: ABX3 Perovskite Coordination Networks as Barocalorics

The rising demand for cooling technologies due to global warming caused by climate change is sparking new motivation in the search for climate-friendly, greenhouse free and safe cooling alternatives. Solid-state cooling based on the barocaloric effect represents a fascinating opportunity in this context, with key principles related to the question ‘what makes a good barocaloric’ largely unknown. In the pursuit of identifying high-performance barocalorics, my research focuses on the material class of ABX3 perovskite coordination networks. The chemical diversity of perovskite coordination networks makes these to an intriguing material platform, offering fascinating opportunities in the search for fundamental principles behind high-efficient barocaloric working media.
