Elastocaloric effect in vanadium (IV) oxide
Abstract
Elastocaloric cooling utilizes the latent heat associated with stress-induced reversible phase transformations to achieve cooling. Currently, the key barrier to this technology is its prohibitive cost due to the high elastocaloric material cost and the large stress required to drive the cooling cycle. Vanadium (IV) oxide (VO2) is a good candidate, and it is relatively cheap. Our calorimetry study shows it exhibits a reversible phase transformation with a large latent heat of 31.5 J/g, as well as excellent functional stability. Its transformation temperature and latent heat are tunable via heat treatment. We demonstrated that VO2 powders can be cyclically compressed in a steel tube using a steel plunger to drive the elastocaloric effect. The application of relatively low stress of 300 MPa is sufficient to result in a reversible temperature change of 0.5 °C on the powder compact. Further improvement of reversible temperature change to 1.6 °C under 300MPa is achieved by adding conductive copper powders. Future efforts should focus on improving material properties such as heat capacity and thermal conductivity for candidate ceramic oxides to maximize elastocaloric effects.
