Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) provides a new way to develop new materials with adjustable performance due to their unique cocktail effect. Inspired by HEAs, a ceramic material with high-entropy effect has been developed, which was named high-entropy ceramics (HECs). With the introduction of the concept of entropy stability, research on HECs has developed rapidly. At present, research on the performance of HECs has extended to traditional performance such as thermomechanical performance, oxidation resistance, and magnetic properties, as well as emerging performance such as catalytic performance, optical properties, and radiation resistance. Based on the definition of HECs, this paper reviews the crystal structure and preparation methods of HECs and supplements the simulation calculation methods and descriptors which is suitable for HECs. In this paper, the performance of HECs at this stage is divided into traditional fields and emerging fields according to the application fields. A variety of performance regulation methods are reviewed, and the development and research directions of HECs are prospected.
