Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The present Special Issue aims to collect insightful papers on the latest development of high entropy ceramics, which are attracting increasing research interests within the materials science community, for a broad range of applications. High entropy materials have been conceived about twenty years ago when a novel approach based on the combination of multiple elements in the equimolar ratio was proposed to design new metallic alloys. High entropy alloys have shown outstanding mechanical properties, and excellent high temperature and chemical stability. Subsequently, the concept of high entropy design has been successfully applied to ceramics, and a considerable amount of high entropy oxides, nitrides and carbides have been developed, with better properties compared to their traditional counterparts. Nowadays, the field of high entropy ceramics is continuously expanding because of the vast amount of elemental combinations that can be realized to obtain new materials with outstanding properties. High entropy ceramics offer significant advantages for various application sectors, including aerospace, energy conversion and storage, catalysis, tribology, and corrosion engineering, among others.
This Special Issue will be focused on all aspects of high entropy ceramics, including the rational design criteria, fabrication methods, properties, and applications. Original contributions in the form of short communications, full-length articles, and reviews to share and disseminate the latest studies on all types of high entropy ceramics are specifically suitable for this compilation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
