One of the main challenges of the refrigeration industry and modern society is the development of more efficient and clean cooling systems. In this context, magnetic cooling which uses magnetocaloric materials as refrigerants is currently considered as one of the most promising alternatives to standard relaxation-compression methods. It enables us to fully eliminate the harmful fluorinated gases such as CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs that are widely employed by standard refrigeration techniques while offering higher thermodynamic efficiencies. However, the discovery of stable materials with outstanding magnetocaloric effects that can be obtained under low magnetic fields over a wider temperature range is crucial for the upscaling of this emergent technology towards broader commercialization. On the other hand, the development of new designs allowing simplified, efficient, and compact systems would make magnetic cooling more attractive.
