Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emerging of high-entropy oxide ceramics has attracted great attention in both academic research and application communities due to its superb mechanical, functional, and chemical properties, as compared to the design paradigm of traditional oxide ceramics. In light of composition, more than five cations are incorporated by equal or near-equal atomic ratios into a single lattice to form a single phase, which can open up the design concept of new materials. In light of properties, high-entropy oxide ceramics have exhibited many unique and enhanced performances, such as ultimate mechanical properties, colossal dielectric properties, high capacity with excellent cycling performance of storage energy, high-efficiency catalytic activity, larger thermoelectric figure of merit, unique magnetism, and better corrosion resistance. The diverse properties are beneficial to practical applications. Moreover, machine learning and theoretical calculation stepped in and speeded up the rapid development of this community. This Special Issue aims to report the state of the art of results in this field. This Special Issue covers mentioned topics and focuses on the preparation, properties, and application of high-entropy oxide ceramics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
