Abstract
AbstractHigh‐entropy single‐phase rare earth titanates (RE0.2Gd0.2Ho0.2Er0.2Yb0.2)2Ti2O7 (RE = Sm, Y, Lu) were designed and synthesized successfully, in which their lattice distortion was quantitatively described by mass disorder and size disorder. It is worth mentioning that (Y0.2Gd0.2Ho0.2Er0.2Yb0.2)2Ti2O7 could obtain the low thermal conductivity (1.51 W·m−1·K−1, 1500°C), high thermal expansion coefficient (average, 11.69×10−6 K−1, RT ∼1500°C) and excellent high‐temperature stability. In addition, the relationship between the microstructure and thermal transport behaviors has been studied at the atomic scale. Due to the disorder of A‐site ions, severe lattice distortion occurred in specific crystal planes, and the large mass difference between Y3+ and other RE3+ further causes mass fluctuation and results in lower thermal conductivity. Compared with YSZ, the high‐entropy rare earth titanate (Y0.2Gd0.2Ho0.2Er0.2Yb0.2)2Ti2O7 has lower thermal conductivity, higher thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent high‐temperature stability, which has great potential for application in the thermal protection field.
