In the present paper, the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of NdCo_2-xFe_x (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6) compounds was investigated by magnetization measurements. Here, the temperature-dependent high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction study shows a magnetostructural transition from the paramagnetic cubic phase to the ferromagnetic tetragonal phase below their Curie temperatures. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis shows the absence of thermal hysteresis, indicating the second-order nature of the magnetostructural phase transition in these compounds. The maximum values of magnetic entropy change (ΔS_M) and wide operating temperature (OT) are obtained under a field change of 5 T, which are 7.33 Jkg^-1K^-1, 6.45 Jkg^-1K^-1, 5.71 Jkg^-1K^-1, 4.70 Jkg^-1K^-1 and 78 K, 82 K, 85 K, 92 K for x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6, respectively. The corresponding values of relative cooling power (RCP) are 529.96 Jkg^-1, 497.25 Jkg^-1, 470.55 Jkg^-1, and 428.31 Jkg^-1. The observed wide OT range and large RCP values are comparable with Gd, Gd₅Ge₂Si₂, and some rare-earth-based giant magnetocaloric materials, making this series of compounds suitable for magnetic refrigeration.
