Abstract

The invention provides a rare earth-copper-aluminum material for magnetic refrigeration and a preparation method thereof. The rare earth-copper-aluminum material for magnetic refrigeration is a compound having a general formula of RCuAl, wherein R represents Ho, Er, Dy, Tb or Gd. The rare earth-copper-aluminum material for magnetic refrigeration has a large magnetic entropy change around respective phase change temperatures of rare earth, copper and aluminum, a large magnetic refrigeration capacity, good thermal and magnetic reversible properties, and a low price, and thus the rare earth-copper-aluminum material for magnetic refrigeration is a very ideal middle/low-temperature zone magnetic refrigeration material.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to magnetic materials, in particular to a rare earth-copper-aluminum material for magnetic refrigeration and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In today's world, refrigeration and low-temperature technology play a very important role and are related to many important areas of the national economy and people's livelihood. Traditional gas compression refrigeration technology has been widely used in various industries, but it has disadvantages such as low refrigeration efficiency, high energy consumption, and damage to the atmospheric environment. Magnetic refrigeration technology refers to a new type of refrigeration technology that uses magnetic materials as refrigerants. Compared with the traditional gas compression refrigeration technology, it has significant advantages such as high efficiency and energy saving, green environmental protection, stability and reliability, and is known as a high-tech green ...
