Abstract
En 中文
High-entropy oxides (HEOs), featuring infinite chemical composition and exceptional physicochemical properties, are attracting much attention. The configurational entropy caused by a component disorder of HEOs is popularly believed to be the main driving force for thermal stability, while the role of vibrational entropy in the thermodynamic landscape has been neglected. In this study, we systematically investigated the vibrational entropy of multicomponent rutile oxides (including Fe0.5Ta0.5O2, Fe0.333Ti0.333Ta0.333O2, Fe0.25Ti0.25Ta0.25Sn0.25O2, and Fe0.21Ti0.21Ta0.21Sn0.21Ge0.16O2) by precise heat capacity measurements. It is found that vibrational entropy gradually decreases with increasing component disorder, beyond what one could expect from an equilibrium thermodynamics perspective. Moreover, all multicomponent rutile oxides exhibit a positive excess vibrational entropy at 298.15 K. Upon examinations of configuration disorder, size mismatch, phase transition, and polyhedral distortions, we demonstrate that the excess vibrational entropy plays a pivotal role in lowering the crystallization temperature of multicomponent rutile oxides. These findings represent the first experimental confirmation of the role of lattice vibrations in the thermodynamic landscape of rutile HEOs. In particular, vibrational entropy could serve as a novel descriptor to guide the predictive design of multicomponent oxide materials.
