Colossal and fully reversible barocaloric effect for sustainable cooling in a pressure-sensitive spin-crossover complex

Barocaloric refrigeration has great potential to replace traditional vapor-compression systems, which are conspicuously harmful to the environment. Here, the authors report that pressure-induced spin-crossover transitions in an iron complex can produce a colossal and reversible barocaloric entropy change under a small pressure.
