First‐principles study of high‐entropy sulfides and their alkali metal‐doped modification as cathode material for sodium‐ion batteries

High-entropy materials (HEMs) have been explored as high-capacity cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their excellent structural stability and abundant metal redox sites. Among them, high-entropy sulfides (HESs) have greater potential and more extensive research than high-entropy oxides, as they exhibit higher charging voltage and theoretical capacity as cathodes. Furthermore, alkali metal doping of HESs can further enhance their performance and broaden their application fields. Inspired by the cocktail effect of HEMs, we performed the first theoretical calculation of the properties of Na(MnFeCoNi)
