摘要

This study presents the development and characterization of novel high-entropy ceramics, (Mg0.25Ni0.25Co0.25Zn0.25)2SiO4, designed to achieve enhanced microwave dielectric performance. To address the limitations of traditional Mg2SiO4 ceramics—such as high sintering temperatures and poor thermal stability—a high-entropy approach was employed, along with the incorporation of CuO as a sintering aid to promote densification and improve functional properties. The ceramics were synthesized using a carefully optimized solid-state reaction process, with detailed control of milling parameters and sintering conditions. Structural and dielectric characterizations, including X-ray diffraction with Rietveld refinement, SEM–EDS analysis, and microwave resonance testing, demonstrated that sintering at 1040 °C induced the formation of a distinct Cu-rich core–shell microstructure. This structure significantly enhanced dielectric properties by facilitating interfacial polarization and limiting charge carrier mobility, resulting in a high relative permittivity (εr = 8.24), a high-quality factor × frequency (Q × f = 17,613.5 GHz), and improved thermal stability (τf = − 60.35 ppm/°C). These findings provide valuable insights into the role of entropy-induced lattice distortion and microstructural design in tuning dielectric behavior, offering a practical strategy for advancing high-performance microwave dielectric materials.
