Why are advanced materials important for energy storage devices?

Advanced materials play a critical role in enhancing the capacity and extending the cycle life of energy storage devices. High-entropy materials (HEMs) with controlled compositions and simple phase structures have attracted the interest of researchers and have undergone rapid development recently.

Which ionic materials can be used for energy storage?

In this Perspective, we argue that HEMs have tremendous potential in fields such as energy storage, energy conversion and electronics (Table 1). We focus on promising ionic materials, including oxides, sulfides, carbides, nitrides, fluorides and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).

What are high entropy materials?

The emergence of high-entropy materials (HEMs) with their excellent mechanical properties, stability at high temperatures, and high chemical stability is poised to yield new advancement in the performance of energy storage and conversion technologies.

Why is electrochemical energy storage important?

Improving electrochemical energy storage is crucial to the global transition to a greener and more sustainable future. In particular, the growing demand for next-generation batteries with superior energy and power densities and alternative mobile charge carriers (such as Na+) has stimulated research into substitute materials.

What are high entropy alloys?

The properties exhibited by high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have led researchers to modify non-metallic elements with “high entropy”, resulting in a series of HEMs. In 2015, Rost et al. prepared the first entropy-stabilized crystals of (MgCoNiCuZn)O and defined them as “entropy-stabilized oxides”.
