• Dicyanamide-Perovskites at the Edge of Dense Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Materials 

      García Ben, Javier; McHugh, Lauren Nicole; Bennett, Thomas Douglas; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel (Elsevier, 2021-12-24)
      [Abstract] Hybrid organic–inorganic ABX3 perovskites with dicyanamide-ligands (dca: [N(CN)2]−) on the X-site are emerging as a distinct group of materials courtesy of their multifunctional properties. Here we present an ...
    • Discovery of Colossal Breathing-Caloric Effect under Low Applied Pressure in the Hybrid Organic–Inorganic MIL-53(Al) Material 

      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 ...
    • Narrowing the Tolerance Factor Limits for Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Dicyanamide-Perovskites 

      García Ben, Javier; García-Fernández, Alberto; Dafonte Rodríguez, Pedro; Delgado Ferreiro, Ignacio; Cappel, Ute; Castro-García, Socorro; Sánchez-Andújar, Manuel; Bermúdez-García, Juan Manuel; Señarís-Rodríguez, M. A. (Elsevier, 2022-10-11)
      [Abstract] In this work we focus in setting the limits of the tolerance factor and the size of the A-cations that stabilize the perovskite structure in hybrid dicyanamide compounds [A][Mn(dca)3]. For this purpose, we propose ...
    • 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 ...
