Materials with multiple principal elements (middle- and high-entropy materials), are used in emerging applications in various fields due to their unique properties, driven by configuration entropy. Improved understanding and experimental investigations of the impact of the entropy of mixing on the properties of these materials are of large practical interest. Here we show a simplified limited area calculation approach for assessing the entropy of mixing using a CoCuFeNi model nanoalloy. Based on our calculations we propose a new parametric entropy-based criterion, which defines critical scale parameter transition from the maximal entropy state to the entropy-depleted state of the system. The criterion could be used for generalized mechanistic assessment of the effect of the entropy of mixing on the characteristics of the materials with multiple principal elements and for the development and characterization of existing and new middle- and high-entropy materials with both simple single-, and more complex, multiple-sublattice structures.

Developing a high-performance activator is crucial for the practical application of peroxymonosulfate-based advanced oxidation processes (PMS-AOPs). High-entropy oxides (HEOs) have attracted increasing attention due to their stable crystal structure, flexible composition and unique functionality. However, research into the mechanisms by which HEOs function as PMS activators for degrading organic pollutants remains insufficient, and the relationship between entropy and the catalytic performance of HEOs has yet to be clarified.

Traffic lights play vital roles in urban traffic management systems, providing clear directional guidance for vehicles and pedestrians while ensuring traffic safety. However, the vast quantity of traffic lights widely distributed in the transportation system aggravates energy consumption. Here, a self-powered traffic light system is proposed through wind energy harvesting based on a high-performance fur-brush dish triboelectric nanogenerator (FD-TENG).

As coping profiles can offer concrete intervention opportunities, the goal of the present study is to explore latent coping profiles in a sample of 316 student teachers at a German university, using the Brief COPE inventory (Carver, 1997). Furthermore, we aim to test the extent to which students with specific coping profiles differ in the levels of stress (PSS; Schneider et al., 2020) and stressors they perceive.

In this work, a relatively new class of materials, rare earth (RE) based high entropy oxides (HEO) are discussed in terms of the evolution of the oxygen vacant sites (O) content in their structure as the composition changes from binary to HEO using both experimental and computational tools; the composition of HEO under focus is the CeLaPrSmGdO due to the importance of ceria-related (fluorite) materials to catalysis. To unveil key features of quinary HEO structure, ceria-based binary CePrO and CeLaO compositions as well as SiO, the latter as representative nonreducible oxide, were used and compared as supports for Ru (6 wt % loading). The role of the O in the HEO is highlighted for the ammonia production with particular emphasis on the N dissociation step (N → N) over a HEO; the latter step is considered the rate controlling one in the ammonia production.
