摘要

A novel high-entropy spinel oxide, (MnFeCoCuZn)3O4, was synthesized via a solid-state reaction. This study focuses on how different grinding aids affect the structural evolution and electrochemical performance of the material. The results demonstrate that the use of deionized water as a grinding aid (HEO-1) significantly improves precursor dispersion during ball milling. This improvement promotes the formation of a homogeneous single-phase spinel structure with submicron particles and reduced agglomeration. The enhanced electrochemical performance of HEO-1 is mainly attributed to its well-crystallized spinel structure, improved particle dispersion, multiple redox-active cations, and oxygen-vacancy-related surface defect sites. In a three-electrode configuration, the HEO-1 electrode delivered a specific capacitance of 697.8 F g− 1 at a current density of 1 A g− 1. Furthermore, the assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) achieved an energy density of 69.88 Wh kg− 1 at a power density of 750 W kg− 1 and retained 92.03% of its capacitance after 5,000 cycles. These findings highlight a cost-effective route for the fabrication of high-performance energy-storage materials through the combination of solid-state synthesis and optimized wet-milling.
