Abstract

Abstract: In this study, a novel high-entropy oxide of (La1/6 Nd1/6 Yb1/6 Y1/6 Sm1/6 Lu1/6 )2 Ce2 O7 was prepared using a sol–gel and high-temperature sintering technology. Additionally, its lattice structure, micro-morphology, elemental composition, and thermophysical and mechanical properties were evaluated. The results revealed that the obtained oxide powder has a typical fluorite-type lattice with particle sizes in the range of∼30–100 nm. The bulk sample has a dense microstructure and uniform elemental distribution. Owing to its low lattice order, the thermal expansion coefficient of (La1/6 Nd1/6 Yb1/6 Y1/6 Sm1/6 Lu1/6 )2 Ce2 O7 is greater than that of Sm2 Ce2 O7, which also exhibits excellent lattice stability up to 1200 °C. Further, owing to phonon scattering due to lattice distortion, oxygen vacancy, and cation substitution, the thermal conductivity of (La1/6 Nd1/6 Yb1/6 Y1/6 Sm1/6 Lu1/6 )2 Ce2 O7 is lower than that of Sm2 Ce2 O7, while its mechanical performance is inferior to that of 7YSZ.
