Solid-state refrigeration using barocaloric materials is environmentally friendly and highly efficient, making it a subject of global interest over the past decade. Here, we report giant barocaloric effects in sodium hexafluorophosphate (NaPF$$_6$$) and sodium hexafluoroarsenate (NaAsF$$_6$$) that both undergo a cubic-to-rhombohedral phase transition near room temperature. We have determined that the low-temperature phase structure of NaPF$$_6$$ is a rhombohedral structure with space group R$=3 by neutron powder diffraction. There are three Raman active vibration modes in NaPF$_6$$ and NaAsF$$_6$$, i.e., F$$_{2g}$$, E$$_g$$, and A$$_{1g}$$. The phase transition temperature varies with pressure at a rate of dT$$_t$$/dP = 250 and 310 K/GPa for NaPF$$_6$$ and NaAsF$$_6$$. The pressure-induced entropy changes of NaPF$$_6$$ and NaAsF$$_6$$ are determined to be around 45.2 and 35.6J kg$$^{-1}$$K$$^{-1}$$, respectively. The saturation driving pressure is about 40 MPa. The pressure-dependent neutron powder diffraction suggests that the barocaloric effects are related to the pressure-induced cubic-to-rhombohedral phase transitions.

As a promising environment-friendly alternative to current vapor-compression refrigeration, solid-state refrigeration based on the barocaloric effect has been attracting world wide attention. Generally, both phases in which a barocaloric effect occurs are present at ambient pressure. Here, instead, we demonstrate that KPF$$_{6}$$ exhibits a colossal barocaloric effect due to the creation of a high-pressure rhombohedral phase. The phase diagram is constructed based on pressure-dependent calorimetric, Raman scattering, and neutron diffraction measurements. The present study is expected to provide an alternative routine to colossal barocaloric effects through the creation of a high-pressure phase.
