摘要:

高熵氧化物(HEOs)为探索构型熵与焓在稳定复杂固溶体中的热力学相互作用提供了独特平台。本研究调查了一系列具有不同构型熵的岩盐结构氧化物,从二元到多阳离子系统,以阐明焓与熵在相稳定中的竞争作用。合成了包括(Ni$_{0.8}$Cu$_{0.2}$)O到(NiCuZnCoMg)$_{0.9}$A$_{0.1}$O(A = Li, Na, K)的组分,并讨论了它们的结构、微观结构和热学性质。X射线衍射结合热循环证实,即使是中等构型熵($\sim$ 0.95R)也能诱导由构型熵($ΔS_{conf}$)稳定的单相行为,挑战了1.5R的传统阈值。高分辨率TEM和EDS映射分别揭示了纳米晶特征和均匀的元素分布,而XPS分析证实了二价氧化态。观察到高构型熵与热导率($κ$)之间的强耦合。首先,随着$ΔS_{conf}$增加,$κ$急剧下降,然后分解的样品(在冷却时)显示出高$κ$,证明了$ΔS_{conf}$对$κ$的作用。此外,Li掺杂组分表现出改善的热电性能,在1173K下最大热电优值($zT$)约为0.15,这由低热导率和有利的载流子输运驱动。结果强调,构型熵即使在中间值下,在稳定无序单相氧化物和调控声子输运方面也起着重要作用。

英文摘要:

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) offer a unique platform for exploring the thermodynamic interaction between configurational entropy and enthalpy in stabilizing complex solid solutions. In this study, a series of rock-salt structured oxides with varying configurational entropy, ranging from binary to multi-cation systems, to elucidate the competing roles of enthalpy and entropy in phase stabilization is investigated. Compositions including (Ni$_{0.8}$Cu$_{0.2}$)O to(NiCuZnCoMg)$_{0.9}$A$_{0.1}$O (A = Li, Na, K) were synthesized and their stuctural, microstructural and thermal properties have been discussed. X-ray diffraction combined with thermal cycling confirms that even a medium configurational entropy ($\sim$ 0.95R) can induce single-phase behavior stabilized by configurational entropy ($ΔS_{conf}$), challenging the traditional threshold of $1.5\,R$. High-resolution TEM and EDS mapping reveal nanocrytalline features and homogeneous elemental distribution respectively, while XPS analysis confirms divalent oxidation states. A strong coupling between high configurational entropy with thermal conductivity ($κ$) has been observed. First, a sharp decrease in $κ$ with increasing $ΔS_{conf}$ is seen and then decomposed samples (while cooling) show high $κ$, demonstrating the role of $ΔS_{conf}$ on $κ$. Furthermore, Li-doped compositions exhibit improved thermoelectric performance, with a maximum figure of merit ($zT$) of $\sim$0.15 at 1173K\, driven by low thermal conductivity and favorable carrier transport. The results highlight that configurational entropy, even at intermediate values, plays a significant role in stabilizing disordered single-phase oxides and tailoring phonon transport.
