Abstract: As an environment friendly, efficient and reliable technology, adiabatic depolarization refrigeration technology based on the electrocaloric effect (ECE) has attracted great attention in recent years. The refrigeration mechanism of ferroelectric materials based on ECE is firstly introduced systematically in this article. The main research progress in ECE of ferroelectric materials with different types and configurations is summarized, and the existing problems and solutions are analyzed. Finally, the possible applications of ferroelectric materials in refrigeration are discussed.
