The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop high-entropy ceramics (HECs) for concentrated solar thermal power (CSP) applications. HECs would be characterized for thermal insulation potential and their stability in CSP operations. The project would be completed over a single Budget Period.
