Abstract Recently, La(Fe, Si)13-based magnetic refrigeration materials have been widely explored due to the advantages of giant magnetocaloric effect (MCE), tunable Curie temperature (TC), low cost of raw materials and excluding deleterious elements compared to other room-temperature giant MCE materials such as Gd5(Ge1-xSix)4, MnFeP0.45As0.55 and MnAs based compounds. In this work, in order to shift the TC to around room temperature and maintain the large MCE, the method of absorbing hydrogen was employed. La0.9Ce0.1Fe11.44Si1.56 hydride was prepared by saturated hydrogen absorption and then hydrogen contents and TC of the hydrides were controlled by subsequent dehydrogenation at different temperatures (Td=200~250 ℃ for 3 h). The phase structure and magnetocaloric effect were investigated. The results show that the samples possess the cubic NaZn13-type structure with a small amount of a-Fe as impurity phase. TC exhibits an approximately linear decrease with increasing the dehydrogenation temperature. The isothermal magnetic entropy change (ΔSm) of the hydrides decreases compared with the parent compound, which is mainly attributed to the fact that the field-induced itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition has been weakened upon hydrogen absorption. For the sample desorbed hydrogen at temperatures above 230 ℃, ΔSm is remarkably decreased and favorably the magnetic hysteresis loss has been reduced simultaneously. With further increasing the temperature to 250 ℃, ΔSm curve is broadened, weakening the characteristic of the first-order phase transition. Due to the intrinsic brittleness of hydrides, the preparation of a certain shape is of great importance for practical application. For a magnetic field change of 1.5 T, the maximum adiabatic temperature change (ΔTad) and ΔSm for the bonded block of fully hydrogen absorption La0.9Ce0.1Fe11.44Si1.56 hydride are about 2.7 K and 7.5 J/(kgK), respectively, which are larger than those of La(Fe, Co, Si)13 materials in the same magnetic field change range. In conclusion, the bonded La0.9Ce0.1Fe11.44Si1.56 hydrides with good MCE and different TC have been successfully prepared and will be very useful for the practical application of layered magnetic refrigerants at ambient temperature under low field change in magnetic refrigerators.
