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 and/or cooling. Accordingly, we present an innovative device that can provide eco-friendly and gas-free heating/cooling. Moreover, we test the device by measuring a new barocaloric organic polymer that exhibits a large adiabatic temperature change of ~2.9 K under the application of 380 bar. These results pave the way towards novel and more advanced barocaloric technologies and provide a simple and low-cost device to explore new barocaloric materials.
在这项工作中,我们设计、制造并测试了首批热弹装置之一。这里展示的装置能够回收个人脚步产生的能量,并将其转化为热弹加热和/或冷却。因此,我们展示了一种创新装置,它可以提供环保且无气体的加热/冷却。此外,我们通过测量一种新型热弹有机聚合物来测试该装置,这种聚合物在380巴的压力下表现出约2.9K的大绝热温度变化。这些结果为新型和更先进的热弹技术铺平了道路,并提供了一种简单且低成本的装置来探索新的热弹材料。
