Article Abstract
Mixing enthalpy (Δ), mixing entropy (Δ), atomic-size difference (δ), and valence electron concentration (VEC) are the indicators determining the phase structures of multi-principal element alloys. Exploring the relationships between the structures and properties of multi-principal element films is a fundamental study. TiZrHf films with a Δ of 0.00 kJ/mol, Δ of 9.11 J/mol·K (1.10R), of 3.79%, and VEC of 4.00 formed a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) solid solution. Exploring the characterization of TiZrHf films after solving Ta, Y, and Cr atoms with distinct atomic radii is crucial for realizing multi-principal element alloys. This study fabricated TiZrHf, TiZrHfTa, TiZrHfY, and TiZrHfCr films through co-sputtering. The results indicated that TiZrHfTa films formed a single body-centered cubic (BCC) solid solution. In contrast, TiZrHfY films formed a single HCP solid solution, and TiZrHfCr films formed a nanocrystalline BCC solid solution. The crystallization of TiZrHf(Ta, Y, Cr) films and the four indicators mentioned above for multi-principal element alloy structures were correlated. The mechanical properties and thermal stability of the TiZrHf(Ta, Y, Cr) films were investigated.

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) owing to abundant resources and cost-effectiveness. However, cathode materials face persistent challenges in structural stability, ion kinetics, and cycle life. This review highlights the transformative potential of high-entropy (HE) strategies that leveraging multi-principal element synergies to address these limitations entropy-driven mechanisms.

Overcoming the capacity-stability-cost trilemma in hydrogen storage materials represents a fundamental Pareto-type challenge for practical metal hydride applications. Current research efforts remain fragmented, typically pursuing single-parameter optimization while lacking holistic approaches that concurrently satisfy all three criteria. Here, a novel design paradigm is proposed by orchestrating A/B-side multi-principal-element alloys (MPEAs) in C14 Laves phases, enabling concurrent optimization of interstitial hydrogen storage environments and thermodynamics.

The mechanical behavior and microstructural evolution of a BCC-phase NbTaTiV refractory multi-principal element alloy (RMPEA) is studied over a wide range of strain rates (10 to 10 s) and temperatures (room temperature to 850 °C). The mechanical property of present RMPEA shows less strain-rate dependence and strong resistance to softening at high temperatures. Under high strain-rate loading, the formation of thin type-I twins is observed, which could lead to an increase in strain-hardening rates.
