      García Ben, Javier; López-Beceiro, Jorge; Artiaga, Ramón; Salgado-Beceiro, Jorge; Delgado Ferreiro, Ignacio; Kolen'ko, Yury V.; Castro-García, Socorro; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A.; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (American Chemical Society, 2022-03-30)
      [Abstract] In this work, “breathing-caloric” effect is introduced as a new term to define very large thermal changes that arise from the combination of structural changes and gas adsorption processes occurring during ...
    • Near-Room-Temperature Reversible Giant Barocaloric Effects in [(CH₃)₄N]Mn[N₃]₃ Hybrid Perovskite 

      Salgado-Beceiro, Jorge; Silva, Ariel Nonato Almeida de Abreu; Silva, Rosivaldo Xavier da; García-Fernández, Alberto; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Castro-García, Socorro; Stern-Taulats, Enric; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A.; Moya, Xavier; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-09-25)
      [Abstract] We report giant reversible barocaloric effects in [(CH₃)₄N]Mn[N₃]₃ hybrid organic–inorganic perovskite, near its first-order cubic-monoclinic structural phase transition at 𝑇₀ ∼ 305 K. When driving the transition ...
    • Raman Spectroscopy Studies on the Barocaloric Hybrid Perovskite [(CH₃)₄N][Cd(N₃)₃] 

      Silva, Rosivaldo Xavier da; Paschoal, Carlos William de Araujo; Santos, Clenilton; García-Fernández, Alberto; Salgado-Beceiro, Jorge; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A.; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Silva, Ariel Nonato Almeida de Abreu (MDPI, 2020-10-16)
      [Abstract] Temperature-dependent Raman scattering and differential scanning calorimetry were applied to the study of the hybrid organic-inorganic azide-perovskite [(CH₃)₄N][Cd(N₃)₃], a compound with multiple structural ...
    • Simple and Low-Cost Footstep Energy-Recover Barocaloric Heating and Cooling Device 

      García Ben, Javier; Delgado Ferreiro, Ignacio; Salgado-Beceiro, Jorge; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (MDPI, 2021-10-10)
      [Abstract] In this work, we design, build, and test one of the very first barocaloric devices. The here presented device can recover the energy generated by an individual’s footstep and transform it into barocaloric heating ...
