Seminario INMA Impulso: “Barocaloric materials for heating and cooling”.- Viernes 30 de abril
El miércoles 30 de abril de 2025 a las 12:00 h en la Sala de Gradosse celebrará un nuevo seminario del ciclo INMA Impulso. Lo impartirá Xavier Moya (University of Cambridge, UK) con el título “Barocaloric materials for heating and cooling”.
Resumen (en inglés):
Half of the world’s CO2 emissions can be attributed to heating and cooling. This is primarily due to heating with natural gas and cooling with compression of greenhouse gases, which are neither environmentally friendly nor energy efficient. Therefore there is great interest in developing alternative technologies that can replace these gas-based environmentally damaging systems. Barocaloric materials are at the core of novel solid-state heat-pump technologies. During this talk I will describe our work on mechanically responsive barocaloric materials, and present our recent advances on barocaloric systems for heating and cooling applications.
