Transition metal boride magnetocaloric regenerators: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Thermal energy loss in refrigeration cycles stems from inefficient magnetic phase transitions. Engineering specific cobalt-manganese-boron lattice structures optimizes entropy change for high-efficiency solid-state cooling.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Transition metal boride magnetocaloric regenerators?

Low purity feedstock recovery

(36)evidences

Residual contaminants in recovered battery precursors degrade secondary material performance. Removing these impurities ensures high-purity feedstock for magnetocaloric and battery applications.

Surface residual alkali contamination

(17)evidences

Spontaneous formation of nickel oxyhydroxide and carbonate species on the cathode surface leads to poor cycling and gas evolution. Reducing these impurities prevents electrolyte decomposition and capacity fading.
