Magnetic refrigeration has emerged as a promising and environmentally friendly technology due to its high efficiency and eco-friendly nature. It is becoming a strong competitor to traditional gas refrigeration and is often referred to as a green refrigeration technique. This technique utilizes the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) or inverse magnetocaloric effect (IMCE) to achieve a change in temperature after adiabatic demagnetization. Among various magnetocaloric materials, perovskite manganites have drawn significant attention due to their abundance and low field MCE. In this paper, a comparative study of MCE has been presented for two different types of manganites. The self-doped La0.9MnO3 shows a considerable amount of MCE (2.5 J/Kg-K) at an applied magnetic field of 10 kOe around 255 K. In contrast, Pr0.5Sr0.5Mn0.98Cr0.02O3another manganite, shows a comparably lower value of MCE (0.55 J/Kg-K) around 220 K under the same magnetic field, but it exhibits a large IMCE (1.26 J/Kg-K) around 150 K. This comparative study provides insights into the magnetocaloric properties of these manganites, which could have potential applications in green refrigeration.
