Design and synthesis of chemically complex ceramics from the perspective of entropy

High-entropy ceramics (HECs) have rapidly expanded from high-entropy oxides to high-entropy ultrahigh temperature ceramics/coatings and have drawn extensive attention in the field of ceramics. In addition, high-entropy thermoelectric materials focus on the topic of energy, which is another major dri...
