Exploring High-Entropy Thin Films for Advanced Energy Storage Applications

Abstract

High-entropy thin films (HETF) represent a novel and promising avenue in the field of materials science, offering unique properties and functionalities that hold great potential for energy storage applications. This work delves into the synthesis, characterization, and application of HETF in energy storage systems. Through the integration of multiple elements in equimolar or near-equimolar ratios, HETF exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. Moreover, their tunable compositions and structures allow for tailored electrochemical properties, enhancing the performance and efficiency of energy storage devices. This presentation will discuss recent advancements in the fabrication techniques of high-entropy thin films, elucidate their fundamental electrochemical mechanisms, and highlight their applications in various energy storage platforms, including batteries, supercapacitors, and beyond. By elucidating the potential of high-entropy thin films, this research aims to contribute to the development of next-generation energy storage technologies, paving the way towards sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
