全球首个！制冷材料领域有重要发现

Core Findings - A significant discovery in the field of cooling materials has been made by researchers from the Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, who identified a new cooling material called potassium hexafluorophosphate [1] - This material is the only solid-state phase change cooling material that can operate effectively across the entire temperature range from room temperature to near absolute zero [1] Research Details - The researchers observed a "full temperature range pressure card effect" in potassium hexafluorophosphate for the first time [1] - Experiments demonstrated that by applying pressure, this material can continuously achieve cooling from room temperature (approximately 25°C) to liquid nitrogen (-196°C), liquid hydrogen (-253°C), and even liquid helium (-269°C) [1] Future Implications - This discovery opens new avenues for the development of a new generation of efficient and environmentally friendly all-solid-state cooling technologies [1] - There is potential for this research to revolutionize the design concepts of refrigeration devices such as refrigerators [1]
