Abstract
This study explores the influence of two different synthesis methods on the sintering behavior of three novel high-entropy oxides possibly suitable for thermal barrier applications: (Ce0.2Zr0.2Yb0.2Er0.2Nd0.2)O2-δ, (Ce0.2Zr0.2Yb0.2Er0.2La0.2)O2-δ, and (Ce0.2Nd0.2Yb0.2Er0.2La0.2)2O3+δ. Rare-Earth-based High-Entropy Oxides (RE-HEOs), recently known for their exceptional thermal stability and compositional flexibility, have gained increasing attention as potential candidates for many advanced technological applications. Thus, our current work focuses on the specific effects of synthesis techniques, namely co-precipitation and hydrothermal treatment, on the entropy-driven stabilization, microstructure, electrochemical properties, and sintering behavior of three novel RE-HEOs. The obtained results reveal significant differences in terms of densification yield and of the obtaining of the designed entropy-stabilized single phase depending on the adopted synthesis route, underscoring the critical role of synthesis in optimizing RE-HEOs for near-future technological applications.
期刊介绍:
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
