A challenge in materials design is that in both natural and humanmade materials, volume sometimes decreases, or increases, with increasing temperature. While there are mechanical explanations for this ...

Recent research published in the Journal of Advanced Ceramics proposed a new design strategy focusing on mean cation radius and oxygen vacancy concentration, leading to the discovery of new HEFO ...

Current researches show that the standard deviation of the cationic radii, configuration entropy, or maintenance of Ce 4+ have a certain impact on the formation of single-phase HEFOs, but the ...

Solid electrolytes with high lithium-ion conductivity can be designed for millimeter-thick battery electrodes by increasing the complexity of their composite superionic crystals, report researchers ...

Entropy is the measure of the disorder in a system that occurs over a period of time with no energy put into restoring the order. Zentropy integrates entropy at multiscale levels. Credit: Elizabeth ...
