Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ceramic materials technology, specifically relating to a high-entropy oxide ceramic material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly harsh service environment of aero-engines, the materials of hot-end components and their protective coatings—thermal / environmental barrier coatings (T / EBCs)—are facing more severe challenges. In recent years, high-entropy rare earth oxides have attracted widespread attention as a new generation of thermal / environmental barrier coating materials due to their excellent high-temperature performance and corrosion resistance. Compared with single-component ceramic materials, the unique properties of high-entropy ceramics stem from the synergistic effect between their multiple components. The inherent crystal structure of rare earth oxides can accommodate significant variations in cation radii, a characteristic that makes them particularly suitable for stabilizing high-entropy systems. Sun et al. successfully prepared two high-entropy rare earth oxides (Eu... 0.2 Er 0.2 Lu 0.2 Y 0.2 Yb 0.2 )2O3 and (Sm 0.2 Er 0.2 Lu 0.2 Y 0.2 Yb 0.2 Both materials, ₂O₃ and ₂O₃, exhibit low coefficients of thermal expansion in the temperature range from room temperature to 1400℃, at 8.09 × 10⁻⁶ and 8.09 × 10⁻⁶, respectively. -6 K -1 and 7.95×10 -6 K -1 However, they have high thermal conductivity (5.1 W·m⁻¹, respectively). -1 ·K -1 and 4.6 W·m -1 ·K -1 This limits its application in thermal / environmental barrier coatings. Although increasing the amount of rare earth elements is expected to further reduce the thermal conductivity of the material, it also causes problems such as an increased coefficient of thermal expansion and difficulty in single-phase formation.
