High entropy ceramics have attracted much attention in recent years, however, few open literature on the composites in which high entropy phases were used as matrix can be found. In this work, high entropy diboride powder was firstly synthesized, and then monolithic high entropy diboride ceramics of (Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B-2 (sample HEB) and high entropy particulate composites of (Ti0.2Zr0.2Hf0.2Nb0.2Ta0.2)B-2-20 vol% SiC (sample HEB-SiC) were prepared by SPS at different temperatures. As-synthesized high entropy diboride powders demonstrated good sinterability in the temperature range from 1600 degrees C to 1900 degrees C. The grain growth rate of the high entropy phase was comparable to that in the ZrB2 system, but the addition of SiC second phase particles inhibited the grain growth of the high entropy diboride phase. Due to the grain growth inhibition by the introduced SiC particles, the hardness for the particulate composites increased. Moreover, the SiC particles improved the fracture toughness through crack deflection and branching.

ZrB2-based solid solution ceramics and their mechanical and thermal properties

Yue Wu, Weichao Bao, Xiao-Qin Shen, Ji-Xuan Liu, Yuan Qin, Yongcheng Liang, Fangfang Xu, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: ZrB2-based solid solution ceramics with different mixing entropies were prepared and it was found that the formation of a single-phase solid solution is independent of the mixing entropy. The addition of other diborides promotes densification and reduces particle size. Samples with higher mixing entropy have finer grain size, higher hardness, and modulus.

High-entropy oxides for catalysis: A diamond in the rough

Yingtong Pan, Ji-Xuan Liu, Tian-Zhe Tu, Wenzhong Wang, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: The notion of entropy engineering has revitalized the research and development of sophisticated functional materials. High-entropy materials, particularly high-entropy alloys, have gained significant attention in environmental science and renewable energy technology. However, systematic research on high-entropy ceramics is still lacking. Recent studies suggest that high-entropy oxides, belonging to high-entropy ceramics, show potential as next-generation catalysts. This review provides an overview of the concept, synthesis methods, and catalytic performance of high-entropy oxides, highlighting their advantages as functional catalytic materials.

Effect of interface roughness on fracture energy and fracture process zone of rock-concrete specimens

Yuzhu Guo, Xudong Chen, Jixuan Liu, Tao Chen, Jin Wu

Summary: The effects of interface roughness on fracture behaviors of rock-concrete specimens are investigated using acoustic emission (AE) and digital image correlation (DIC) techniques. The fracture process of the granite-concrete specimens with different interfacial roughnesses is monitored under three-point bending (TPB) load. The initial fracture toughness and characteristic parameters of the AE are calculated and discussed. A transient critical response equation and a stress-crack opening displacement model for the rock-concrete interface crack opening displacement (COD) based on micro-macro crack interactions are established. The model parameters are determined by the DIC technique, and the fracture energies of interfaces with different roughnesses are calculated based on the model. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the calculation results with those from existing fracture energy calculation methods.

The porous SiC monoliths have porosities of 71.3%, a specific surface area of 171.5 m(2)/g, and a compressive strength of 7.0 +/- 0.8 MPa.

Fast grain growth phenomenon in high-entropy ceramics: A case study in rare-earth hexaaluminates

Lin Zhou, Ji-Xuan Liu, Tian-Zhe Tu, Yue Wu, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: This study reports a fast grain growth phenomenon in high-entropy ceramics and suggests that the grain growth behavior in these ceramics is not dominated by the sluggish diffusion effect. XPS analysis reveals the presence of more oxygen vacancies in high-entropy ceramics, which promotes the migration and diffusion of cations and increases the grain growth rate.

Thermal conductivity of equiatomic high-entropy diboride ceramics with 5-9 cations

Gang Cheng, Ji-Xuan Liu, Yuan Qin, Yue Wu, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: In this study, single-phase high-entropy diboride ceramics (HEBs) with 5-9 cations were prepared by spark plasma sintering using self-synthesized HEB powders. The distribution of metal elements in the obtained HEBs was uniform. The thermal conductivity of the ceramics decreased with increased configurational entropy or the number of cation kinds due to the phonon scattering caused by inherent lattice distortion in HEBs. However, this study reveals a weakening tendency of reduction in thermal conductivity for HEBs with more than 6 cation kinds.

Defective multi-element hydroxides nanosheets for rapid removal of anionic organic dyes from water and oxygen evolution reaction

Fei Li, Naokatsu Kannari, Jun Maruyama, Kazuyoshi Sato, Hiroya Abe

Summary: Water pollution caused by dyes is a significant environmental issue, and adsorption technology has been widely used for wastewater treatment. In this study, surface defective hydroxides designed using the high-entropy concept efficiently remove dyes from water. Multi-element hydroxides (MEHs) with different compositions are synthesized through a polyol process and exhibit rapid adsorption kinetics due to increased surface defects. MEH-Quinary and MEH-Ternary show high removal efficiency of over 99.0% within 30 seconds for Congo red and methyl orange, respectively, with pseudo-second-order rate constants two orders of magnitude higher than activated carbon and hydrotalcite. MEH-Quinary also has a high adsorption capacity and potential as an electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction.

Lattice rigidity in high-entropy carbide ceramics with carbon vacancies

Ji-Xuan Liu, Liwei Guo, Yue Wu, Yuan Qin, Yongcheng Liang, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: Due to the presence of core effects, the impact of carbon vacancy in high-entropy carbides differs from that of transition metal monocarbides. Nonstoichiometric high-entropy carbides with variable carbon vacancy concentration were fabricated using powder mixtures and spark plasma sintering. The decline rates of lattice constant and elastic modulus were slower in high-entropy carbides with higher carbon vacancy concentration, indicating a more rigid crystalline lattice.

Grain growth inhibition by sluggish diffusion and Zener pinning in high-entropy diboride ceramics

Yu-Yun Cheng, Lin Zhou, Ji-Xuan Liu, Yu-Feng Tan, Guo-Jun Zhang

Summary: This study investigates the grain growth kinetics of high-entropy diboride (HEB) and HEB-SiC ceramics during heat treatment. The results show that the growth of HEB phase is controlled by interface-controlled kinetics in HEB ceramics and grain-boundary pinning in HEB-SiC ceramics. The sluggish diffusion effect and the presence of segregated second-phase particles at the grain boundaries contribute to the grain growth inhibition in the high-entropy ceramic system.
