High‐entropy oxide: A future anode contender for lithium‐ion battery

Revolutionary changes in energy storage technology have put forward higher requirements on next-generation anode materials for lithium-ion battery. Recently, a new class of with complex stoichiometric ratios, high-entropy oxide (HEO), has gradually emerging into sight and embracing the prosperity. The ideal elemental adjustability attractive synergistic effect make HEO promising to break through integrated performance bottleneck conventional anodes provide impetus design development electrochemical materials. Here, research progress is comprehensively reviewed. driving force behind phase stability, role individual cations, potential mechanisms controlling properties, as well state-of-the-art synthetic strategies modification approaches are critically evaluated. Finally, we envision future prospects related challenges this field, which will bring some enlightening guidance criteria researchers further unlock mysteries anodes.
