The electrocaloric effects in various types of materials, including inorganic perovskites, organic perovskites, organic polymers, molecular ferroelectrics and two-dimensional ferroelectric materials, possess great potential in realizing solid-state cooling devices due to the advantages of low-cost, high-efficiency and environmental friendly. Different ferroelectric materials have distinct characteristics in terms of phase transition and electrocaloric response. The mechanism for enhancing the electrocaloric effect currently remains elusive. Here, typical inorganic perovskite BaTiO3, PbTiO3 and BiFeO3, organic perovskite [MDABCO](NH4)I3, organic polymer P(VDF-TrFE), molecular ferroelectric ImClO4 and two-dimensional ferroelectric CuInP2S6 are selected to analyze the origins of their electrocaloric effects based on the Landau-Devonshire theory. The temperature-dependent pyroelectric coefficients and electrocaloric performances of different ferroelectric materials indicate that the first-order phase transition material MDABCO and the second-order phase transition material ImClO4 have excellent performances for electrocaloric refrigeration. The predicted results also strongly suggest that near the phase transition point of the ferroelectric material, the variation rate of free energy barrier height with temperature contributes to the polarizability change with temperature, resulting in enhanced electrocaloric effect. This present work provides a theoretical basis and a new insight into the further development of ferroelectric materials with high electrocaloric response.
