The arc-melting method was adopted to prepare the compound La0.5Pr0.5(Fe1−xCox)11.4Si1.6 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08), and the magnetocaloric effect of the compound was investigated. As indicated by the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, after receiving 7-day high temperature annealing at 1373 K, all the compounds formed a single-phase cubic NaZn13 crystal structure. As indicated by the magnetic measurement, the most significant magnetic entropy change |∆SM(T)| of the sample decreased from 28.92 J/kg·K to 4.22 J/kg·K with the increase of the Co content under the 0–1.5 T magnetic field, while the Curie temperature TC increased from 185 K to the room temperature 296 K, which indicated that this series of alloys are the room temperature magnetic refrigerant material with practical value. By using the ferromagnetic Curie temperature theory and analyzing the effect of Co doping on the exchange integral of these alloys, the mechanism that the Curie temperature of La0.5Pr0.5(Fe1−xCox)11.4Si1.6 and La0.8Ce0.2(Fe1−xCox)11.4Si1.6 increased with the increase in the Co content was reasonably explained. Accordingly, this paper can provide a theoretical reference for subsequent studies.
