Perovskite manganates (AMnO) have unique properties that make them suitable for deicing power transmission lines due to their strong magnetocaloric effect (MCE) near the Curie temperature.
Below this temperature, they generate heat through various mechanisms when exposed to an AC magnetic field, whereas they minimize energy loss above this temperature.
The study synthesized LaCaSrMnO with a particle size over 10 μm, achieving significant MCE results, indicating the potential of a prototype cable for effective anti-icing solutions in high-voltage power lines.
