Description

Magneto-caloric material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of magnetic refrigeration, in particular to a magnetocaloric material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Cryogenic zone (0.005-40K) refrigeration technology in hydrogen and helium (including He) 3 ) The method has very important roles in the fields of liquefaction, quantum computation, high-energy physics, superconducting technology, modern space technology and the like. The magnetic refrigeration is a technology for realizing high-efficiency refrigeration by utilizing a magnetocaloric material (a refrigeration working medium material for realizing system temperature change based on a magnetocaloric effect), has high thermal cycle efficiency, small device volume, low microphonic and thermal noise characteristics and great development potential in a low-temperature area. The magnetocaloric effect is the core of magnetic refrigeration technology and its physical description is the external field dependence of the magnetic entropy of the system. Specifically, when a magnetic field is applied to the magnetocaloric material, the magnetic moment thereof tends to be in an ordered state (low entropy state), and when the external field is removed, the magnetic moment of the system returns to an unordered state (high entropy state). The repeated operation of the external field can realize the transition between the low entropy state and the high entropy state, and the heat absorption and release process is accompanied, so that the refrigeration cycle is realized.
The key of the magnetic refrigeration technology is the selection of the magnetic heat material, and the ideal magnetic heat material has the following characteristics: (1) has large magnetic entropy change and high adiabatic temperature change; (2) has a low phonon and electron specific heat; (3) the phase transition temperature should be within the operating temperature window; (4) having as high a heat conduction efficiency as possible; (5) Has low preparation cost, good processing characteristics and good mechanical and chemical corrosion resistance.
In order to realize the integration, miniaturization and multifunctional characteristics of the refrigerating device, the large magnetic entropy change characteristics of the magnetocaloric material not only require that the magnetic entropy change has high quality unit (J.kg) –1 ·K –1 ) Further has a high volume unit (mJ.cm) –3 ·K –1 ).
