The electrocaloric effects (EC) of PZT and PMN–PNN–PZT films were evaluated. PZT and PMN–PNN–PZT thin films with a thickness of 500 nm were fabricated by state-of-the-art chemical solution deposition from a precursor solution with PZT and (PMN−PNN)/PZT=30/70. The polarization hysteresis loop was found to be slim and nonlinear, with smaller hysteretic behavior compared with PZT. The pyroelectric properties evaluated from polarization change and current measurement show that the properties of PMN–PNN–PZT films are superior to those of non-doped PZT films. The electrocaloric temperature changes ΔT due to applied ΔE were calculated. PZT and PMN–PNN–PZT films exhibited ΔT of 2.1 K and 3.6 K at 237.5 °C under a field of 500 kV/cm, respectively. Thermal-electrical energy converters based on pyroelectric effects were investigated for energy harvesting and possible use in ultralow-power sensor modules. The possibilities of pyroelectric energy harvesting using these PZT films were also investigated.
