Abstract
The unique combination of a series of thermal properties and water-oxygen corrosion resistance is crucial for high-entropy disilicates serving as environmental barrier coating materials. Here, we report a novel (Gd1/7Dy1/7Ho1/7Er1/7Tm1/7Yb1/7Lu1/7)2Si2O7 high-entropy disilicate (7HERED) that simultaneously possesses excellent match of coefficient of thermal expansion with SiCf/SiC composites across 473–1973 K, ultralow thermal conductivity (1.5 Wm−1 K−1 at 1273 K), superior high-temperature stability up to 1973 K, and water-oxygen corrosion resistance at 1673 K. Such superior properties are attributed to the high-entropy and lattice-distortion effects. Our 7HERED shows great potential as a next-generation environmental barrier coating material.

摘要
作为一种潜在的环境障涂层材料, 高熵稀土双硅酸盐的热物理 化学性质至关重要. 本文报道了一种新型(Gd1/7Dy1/7Ho1/7Er1/7Tm1/7-Yb1/7Lu1/7)2Si2O7高熵稀土双硅酸盐(7HERED), 它兼具与SiCf/SiC复合 材料良好的热膨胀系数匹配性、超低的热导率( 1 2 7 3 K时为 1.5 Wm−1 K−1)、高达1973 K的高温稳定性以及在1673 K下优异的耐水 氧腐蚀性等优异的综合性能. 这种优异的综合性能可归因于7HERED 的高熵效应和晶格畸变效应. 本文所开发的7HERED有望作为下一代 环境障涂层材料.
