Abstract
En 中文
High-entropy ceramics, with five or more elements randomly occupying the same cation crystallographic sites, offer vast compositional diversity and unique properties for material design and applications. However, for many dissimilar elements, entropic stabilization cannot overcome the enthalpic barrier to cation substitution. As a result, most high-entropy ceramics incorporate only a few similar elements, limiting the in-depth exploration of the effect of entropy on ceramic properties. Here, we first use density functional theory to model fluorite crystal structures composed of 1–10 elements and then experimentally present practical fluorite oxide nanostructures containing 1, 3, 8, and 15 metals, as well as a record-breaking 25-element high-entropy ceramic incorporating a diverse palette of rare-earth, transition, alkaline, p-block, and noble metals. As entropy increases, structural and configurational disorder in the solid solution rises, altering structural features such as lattice distortion, crystallinity, homogeneity, defect density, and thermal stability. This research provides new insights and understanding of the role of entropy in stabilizing compositionally complex ceramics.
