In this study, spray granulation will be used to prepare medium entropy oxide powder, and will be further studied as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Spray granulation is often used to synthesize powders. This fabrication process not only has the advantages of uniform particle size, but also suitable for the application of electrode materials. This study uses the medium entropy oxide powder prepared by the spray granulation method for the application of lithium-ion battery anode materials, and discuss the electrochemical performance of medium entropy oxides.
In terms of the results of the performance of lithium-ion batteries, the medium entropy oxide anode material developed in this research has been tested by a lithium-ion half-cell. In addition, it can be further confirmed that entropy stability greatly improves cycle stability, which proved that the high entropy oxide will have the potential to replace current lithium-ion battery electrode materials in the future.
