The room-temperature magnetocaloric effect (MCE) of Cox(MnSb)1-x (x=0.07, 0.15, 0.24) alloys has been investigated. It is revealed that the Curie temperature TC and the magnetic entropy change ΔSM are sensitive to the Co content x. When x=0.15, the MCE of Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is optimal with ΔSM=1.8 J/kg.K at 324 K under an applied magnetic field of 3 T. A second-order phase transformation occurs around TC, and the magnetic hysteresis loss thermal lag is negligible. These features demonstrate that Co0.15(MnSb)0.85 alloy is a promising room-temperature magnetocaloric materials.
