Colossal barocaloric effects in the complex hydride Li $$_{2}$$ 2 B $$_{12}$$ 12 H $$_{12}$$ 12

Abstract Traditional refrigeration technologies based on compression cycles of greenhouse gases pose serious threats to the environment and cannot be downscaled to electronic device dimensions. Solid-state cooling exploits the thermal response of caloric materials to changes in the applied external...
