- Abstract
High-entropy oxide nanoparticles (HEO NPs) have been intensively studied because of their attractive properties, such as high stability and enhanced catalytic activity. In this work, for the first time, denary HEO NPs were successfully synthesized using a continuous supercritical hydrothermal flow process without calcination. Interestingly, this process allows the formation of HEO NPs on the order of seconds at a relatively lower temperature. The synthesized HEO NPs contained 10 metal elements, La, Ca, Sr, Ba, Fe, Mn, Co, Ru, Pd, and Ir, and had a perovskite-type structure. Atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements revealed homogeneous dispersion of the 10 metal elements. The obtained HEO NPs also exhibited a higher catalytic activity for the CO oxidation reaction than that of the LaFeO₃ NPs.
