Abstract
AbstractSince the discovery of giant electrocaloric effects, researchers are intensively studying electrocaloric cooling as an alternative to vapor compression systems to develop more efficient heat pumps and mitigate climate change. Endorsed by its direct use of electricity, easy‐handling, and compact design, recent advancements in the performance of electrocaloric coolers have finally displayed temperatures comparable to similar competing technologies, and the topic has regained attention and interest. In this work, the design, performance, and working principles of all electrocaloric prototypes before the year 2021 are reviewed, and hints and guidelines are given for future works to bring the development of these devices one step closer to real applications.
