Abstract
High-entropy oxides (HEOs) are attractive options for anode materials in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) because of their impressive specific capacity and structural stability. The multi-element composition of HEOs endows them with diverse physicochemical properties. However, the role of different elements in the energy storage mechanism remains unclear, and the limited number of successfully synthesized high-entropy oxide systems currently hinders further development. Therefore, developing HEOs with different compositions and studying their electrochemical properties is of great significance. Using the glycine-nitrate solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method, we produced two new High Entropy Oxides (HEOs), namely (FeCoMgCr)3O4 and (FeCoMgCrLi)3O4, and assessed their electrochemical performance as LIBs anode materials. The studies indicate that the inclusion of lithium significantly enhances the lithium storing capabilities of the material system. Specifically, after undergoing two hundred cycles at a current density of 200 mA/g, (FeCoMgCrLi)3O4 exhibited a specific capacity of 658 mAh/g, which was considerably greater than the specific capacity of (FeCoMgCr)3O4, which was 306.9 mAh/g. This work enriches the spinel-type high-entropy oxide systems and proposes a new design strategy for HEOs as LIBs anode materials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.
Electrochemistry is a wide ranging area that is in a state of continuous evolution. Rather than compiling a long list of topics covered by the Journal, the editors would like to draw particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. Papers should present new and interesting electrochemical science in a way that is accessible to the reader. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of the Journal. Reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical will not be accepted. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected by the Editors. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially new insights into electrochemical processes.
