Abstract
For the first time, a spinel-type high entropy oxide (Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)Al2O4 as well as its derivative lithiated high entropy oxyfluoride Li0.5(Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)0.5Al2O3.5F0.5 and oxychloride Li0.5(Zn0.25Cu0.25Mg0.25Co0.25)0.5Al2O3.5Cl0.5 are prepared in the nanostructured state via high-energy co-milling of the simple oxide precursors and the halides (LiF or LiCl) as sources of lithium, fluorine and chlorine. Their nanostructure is investigated by XRD, HR-TEM, EDX and XPS spectroscopy. It is revealed that incorporation of lithium into the structure of spinel oxide together with the anionic substitution has significant effect on its short-range order, size and morphology of crystallites as well as on its oxidation/reduction processes. The charge capacity of the as-prepared nanomaterials tested by cyclic voltammetry is found to be rather poor despite lithiation of the samples in comparison to previously reported spinel-type high entropy oxides. Nevertheless, the present work offers the alternative one-step mechanochemical route to novel classes of high entropy oxides as well as to lithiated oxyfluorides and oxychlorides with the possibility to vary their cationic and anionic elemental composition.
