Abstract: With the rapid development of economy and the increasing warming of global climate, the impact of refrigeration technology on modern society is more and more in-depth. The use of perfluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) freon refrigerants is at primary position in traditional gas compression refrigeration, however, will aggravate the greenhouse effect. To achieve global carbon neutralization, seeking high efficiency and environmentally friendly refrigeration schemes has become the key research direction for scientists, while the solid-state phase change technology based on field induction provides a promising scheme. Among them, the barocaloric eects have attracted much attention. In recent years, scientists have found the colossal barocaloric effects in a series of materials named plastic crystal, in which the entropy change is one order of magnitude higher than that of the traditional solid-state phase change refrigeration materials. Since then, the research on the barocaloric effects of plastic crystal materials has gradually increased in the scientific research community, and new plastic crystal materials with excellent performance have been continuously explored as the working medium of barocaloric effects refrigeration technology. This has greatly promoted the development of barocaloric effects refrigeration technology and provided more possibilities for realizing green and environmentally friendly high-efficiency refrigeration technology in the future. This paper will briefly explain the physical mechanism of the barocaloric effects in the plastic crystal, compare the comprehensive performance of several typical plastic crystal materials such as C5H12O2 (NPG), (NH2)C(CH2OH)3 (TRIS) and carborane, etc. and furthermore, and prospect the application of plastic crystal barocaloric effects in new solid-state refrigeration technology.
