Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs), composed of five or more distinct metal ions within a unified crystalline lattice, exhibit exceptional electrochemical capacity and catalytic properties. These characteristics make them highly valued materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, their inherent low conductivities pose a significant challenge to further advancements in HEO development. Herein, a new kind of HEO, (Y0.2La0.2Ce0.2Ca0.2Mg0.2)2(Sn1-xAlx)2O7 is synthesized via a facile co-precipitation reaction, with various aluminum (Al) content doping (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15). The optimized sample (x = 0.1) exhibits a superior initial discharge specific capacity of 1209.9 mAh g−1 at 0.1 mA g−1. This study provides clear evidence that incorporating metal doping into the structure of HEOs is an exceptionally effective strategy for enhancing its electrochemical performance as anode materials in LIBs.
