Researchers have revealed that oxygen chemical potential is the missing ingredient in high-entropy oxide synthesis. By lowering oxygen levels during high-temperature firing, they created seven new Mn/Fe-based rock-salt HEOs and introduced a powerful new predictor—oxygen chemical potential overlap—that transforms ceramic discovery into a guided thermodynamic process.
