Abstract
A combined theoretical and experimental approach was used to investigate high‐entropy carbonitride. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest that the [N]/([C]+[N]) ratio in (Ti1/6Cr1/6V1/6Mo1/6Nb1/6Ta1/6)(C1−xNx) affects its lattice thermal conductivity which could be decreased by 89% by increasing the ratio from 0 to 1/2. Moreover, a robust, flame‐retardant and high‐temperature resistant (Ti1/6Cr1/6V1/6Mo1/6Nb1/6Ta1/6)(C0.64N0.36) high‐entropy carbonitride aerogel (6‐HECNA) was synthesized. It exhibited a porosity of 94.3%, a compressive strength of 0.9 MPa, and a good high‐temperature stability up to 1673 K. These properties, along with its outstanding fire‐retardancy, and low thermal conductivity (0.122 W·m−1·K−1 at 298 K), make it a promising candidate material for thermal insulation applications under harsh conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Ceramic Society contains records of original research that provide insight into or describe the science of ceramic and glass materials and composites based on ceramics and glasses. These papers include reports on discovery, characterization, and analysis of new inorganic, non-metallic materials; synthesis methods; phase relationships; processing approaches; microstructure-property relationships; and functionalities. Of great interest are works that support understanding founded on fundamental principles using experimental, theoretical, or computational methods or combinations of those approaches. All the published papers must be of enduring value and relevant to the science of ceramics and glasses or composites based on those materials.
Papers on fundamental ceramic and glass science are welcome including those in the following areas:
Enabling materials for grand challenges[...]
Materials design, selection, synthesis and processing methods[...]
Characterization of compositions, structures, defects, and properties along with new methods [...]
Mechanisms, Theory, Modeling, and Simulation[...]
JACerS accepts submissions of full-length Articles reporting original research, in-depth Feature Articles, Reviews of the state-of-the-art with compelling analysis, and Rapid Communications which are short papers with sufficient novelty or impact to justify swift publication.
