Abstract

Abstract High entropy oxides (HEOs) with chemically disordered multi-cation structure attract intensive interest as negative electrode materials for battery applications. The outstanding electrochemical performance has been attributed to the high-entropy stabilization and the so-called ‘cocktail effect’. However, the configurational entropy of the HEO, which is thermodynamically only metastable at room-temperature, is insufficient to drive the structural reversibility during conversion-type battery reaction, and the ‘cocktail effect’ has not been explained thus far. This work unveils the multi-cations synergy of the HEO Mg 0.2 Co 0.2 Ni 0.2 Cu 0.2 Zn 0.2 O at atomic and nanoscale during electrochemical…
