Abstract

High-entropy materials have received notable attention concern on account of their unique structure, tunable properties, and unprecedented potential applications in many fields. In this work, for the first time a NiCoMnZnMg-containing high-entropy glycerolate (HE-Gly) particles has been synthesized using a scalable solvothermal method. The HE-Gly particles were used as a precursor in design of porous high-entropy oxide (HEO) microparticles. The morphological and structural characterizations demonstrate that the temperature of the annealing process, and the composition of the metal ions in the HE-Gly precursors play important roles in determining porosity, crystallinity, and phase separation in HEOs. In fact, HE-Gly exhibited a porous structure of spinel HEOs with secreted MgO phase after annealing process at 800 °C, while the annealing process at 400 °C led to a low-crystallinity spinel phase without phase segregation. Overall, this work describes HE-Gly as a new precursor for altering the composition, crystallinity, and porosity of HEOs. This strategy is scalable for potential high mass productions, paving a new path toward industrial application of high-entropy materials.
