About this Research Topic
High Entropy Ceramics (HEC) have recently emerged as a fascinating field of study within the realm of advanced ceramics. Inspired by high entropy alloys, HEC are formed by mixing equal or relatively large proportions of five or more elements, leading to unique properties and potential applications. The concept of HEC is gaining significant attention from the materials community due to their promising characteristics, benefiting from the four core effects (high-entropy effect, delayed diffusion effect, lattice distortion effect, and cocktail effect). These effects enable enhanced mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties in HEC, making them suitable for various applications. However, the advancement of HEC requires a deeper understanding of their synthesis, characterization, and processing techniques, as well as addressing challenges related to their stability, scalability, and industrial applicability.
The goal of this Research Topic is to explore and advance the understanding of High Entropy Ceramics (HEC) by investigating their synthesis, properties, challenges, and potential applications. This topic aims to provide a platform for researchers to present their original research findings, reviews, and perspectives on HEC, addressing both fundamental and applied aspects. The goal is to foster the exchange of knowledge and ideas, promoting interdisciplinary collaborations and enabling the development of HEC as versatile materials for advanced applications. By bringing together research efforts in HEC, the objective is to identify strategies for advancing HEC synthesis, characterization techniques, and processing methods. Additionally, the Research Topic aims to address challenges related to HEC stability, scalability, and integration into practical applications, thereby accelerating the adoption of HEC in cutting-edge fields.
