Enhanced electrocaloric response in lead‐free 0.8Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 ‐0.2SrTiO 3 (NBT‐0.2ST) ceramics are investigated using an indirect approach based on Maxwell's relations over a wide operating temperature range. The electrocaloric effect (ECE) is obtained over a broad temperature range with the maximum temperature change ( Δ T ) value reaching 0.75 K at the working temperature of 400 K under the electric field of 35 kV cm −1 . The maximum EC coefficient ( ζ = Δ T / Δ E ) is found to be 0.022 K·cm kV −1 at 400 K. Energy storage density of NBT‐0.2ST are calculated and found to be 0.36 J cm −3 at 393 K. High value of ECE and a wide working temperature range (350–450 K) make it a promising lead‐free ferroelectric material for applications in cooling technologies.
