promising cathode candidate materials for K-ion batteries (KIBs) in terms of their rich raw materials and low price, while their further applications are restricted by sluggish kinetics and poor structural stability. Here, the high-entropy design concept is introduced into layered KIB cathodes to address the above issues, and an example of high-entropy layered K 0.45 Mn 0.60 Ni 0.075 Fe 0.075 Co 0.075 Ti 0.10 Cu 0.05 Mg 0.025 O 2 (HE-KMO) is successfully prepared. Benefiting from the highentropy oxide with multielement doping, the developed HE-KMO exhibits half-metallic oxide features with a narrow bandgap of 0.19 eV. Increased entropy can also reduce the surface energy of the {010} active facets, resulting in about 2.6 times more exposure of the {010} active facets of HE-KMO than the low-entropy K 0.45 MnO 2 (KMO). Both can effectively improve the kinetics in terms of electron conduction and K + diffusion. Furthermore, high entropy can inhibit space charge ordering during K + (de)insertion, and the transition metal−oxygen covalent interaction of HE-KMO is also enhanced, leading to suppressed phase transition of HE-KMO in 1.5−4.2 V and better electrochemical stability of HE-KMO (average capacity drop of 0.20%, 200 cycles) than the low-entropy KMO (average capacity drop of 0.41%, 200 cycles) in the wide voltage window.
