Summary: This study introduced the concept of applying medium-entropy oxides (MEOs) in sodium-ion batteries, emphasizing the importance of entropy stabilization in material performance and battery cycling. The research also revealed that configurational entropy is the main factor affecting the structural and cycle stability of the electrode material. These findings suggest that the rational design of MEOs with novel structures and different electrochemically active elements may lead to high-performance SIB cathode materials in next-generation energy storage devices.

Summary: Traditional photocatalysts like titanium dioxide have the limitation of not being able to absorb visible light, making it necessary to find new photocatalysts that can overcome this issue. Tungsten oxide and its composites have gained popularity in recent years due to their smaller band gap energy, but pristine tungsten oxide has limitations in energy density and specific surface area. Developing various materials based on tungsten oxide can improve its performance.

Summary: In this study, a novel strategy based on the crystal graph convolution neural network (CGCNN) model has been successfully employed to tune the mechanical properties of Ti3AlC2-based MAX phases. The structure-property correlation between A-site substitution and mechanical properties of Ti-3(Al(1-x)A(x))C-2 is established. The results show that the thermodynamic stability, stiffness, thermal shock resistance, and plasticity of Ti3AlC2 can be improved by the substitution of different elements, providing universal guidance for the synthesis of high-performance MAX phases.
