Barium strontium titanate (Ba1‐xSrxTiO3‐BST) ceramics, where x = 0.05, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35, was prepared via a solid‐state reaction method. The lattice structures and morphologies of the ceramic samples were analyzed using X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy technologies. The dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the BST ceramics were characterized using a precision impedance analyzer and a ferroelectric polarization‐electric field (P‐E) hysteresis loop tester, respectively. The electrocaloric effect was indirectly calculated using the Maxwell relations and P‐E loops as a function of temperature and electrical field, and also directly measured using a computer‐controlled thermocouple and high‐voltage power supply. An adiabatic temperature change of 1.82 K was procured, indicating a promising potential in the applications as cooling devices.
