Electrocaloric effect (ECE) in dielectric materials has attracted much attention due to its promising applications in solid-state cooling devices. In this work, alkaline-earth doped PbZrO3 antiferroelectric thin films (Pb0.9A0.1ZrO3 (A=Ca, Sr, and Ba)) were deposited by a sol-gel method and its antiferroelectric-ferroelectric phase competition as well as the negative ECE were studied. It is found that Ca2+ and Sr2+ expand the antiferroelectric phase region while Ba2+ reduces it, due to the different ion radii of these alkaline-earth elements. As a result, the Pb0.9Sr0.1ZrO3 thin film exhibits an enhanced negative ECE with ΔT of around ? 10.6 K under 450 kV/cm whereas the Pb0.9Ba0.1ZrO3 thin film shows a decreased negative ECE with ΔT of around ? 2.5 K under 200 kV/cm, as compared with the pristine PbZrO3 thin films (with ΔT of around ?7.3 K under 300 kV/cm). This work provides an effective method to enhance the negative ECE of antiferroelectrics in electrical cooling applications by adjusting their antiferroelectric to ferroelectric phase transition.
