Abstract
In this study, (La0.2Nd0.2Sm0.2Eu0.2Yb0.2)2Sn2O7 high-entropy oxide ceramics with single pyrochlore phase structure were synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reactions, and their high-temperature electrical properties were investigated. High-entropy ceramics with single pyrochlore phase were prepared at sintering temperatures of 1400 °C–1600 °C. The grain size and relative density of high-entropy ceramics increase with the increase of sintering temperatures. High-entropy ceramics exhibit excellent negative temperature coefficient (NTC) performance in the temperature range of 900–1350 °C. The conductive mechanism of high-entropy ceramics which have high electrical resistivity and high activation energy is oxygen vacancies and oxygen ions migration mechanism. Due to their excellent temperature stability and sensitivity, the high-entropy pyrochlore phase ceramics are suitable for temperature monitoring applications in high-temperature environments.
