The invention provides a high-entropy
spinel oxide synthesized by a carbon
thermal shock method as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of high-entropy
spinel oxides. According to the method, calcining treatment is carried out by adopting a carbon
thermal shock method, so that the Oswald curing process of
crystal grains in the preparation process can be effectively inhibited, and after
metal atoms form a high-entropy
single phase, no enough time is provided for surface migration and
crystal grain growth, so that a nano material with relatively small
crystal grain size is obtained, and abundant surface active sites are provided for gas-
solid reaction. Secondly, due to the non-equilibrium and non-steady-state characteristics of the carbon
thermal shock process, the high-temperature instantaneous state of the material is'frozen 'in the
shock cooling process, a large number of non-thermodynamically-balanced
lattice defects, especially
oxygen vacancies, are easily introduced, and meanwhile, the local
reducing atmosphere of the
carbon substrate can also promote formation of the
oxygen vacancies.
