Abstract
Next-generation advanced high-temperature sensors rely heavily on negative temperature coefficient thermosensitive ceramics with low cost, small volume, high sensitivity, and fast response. However, thus far, the enormous challenge of achieving ultrahigh stability and accuracy has become a critical bottleneck restricting the development of thermosensitive ceramics in high-temperature sensor applications. Here, we propose a high-entropy strategy to design a "cation valence self-equilibrium" system in CeNbO4+δ-based ceramics introducing redox couple compensation and ultrahigh density dislocations to solve the problem of temperature-dependent oxygen nonstoichiometry that restricts the performances of high-temperature thermosensitive ceramics. Ferroelastic domains are generated by enhancing the configurational entropy at both A and B sites, resulting in a dramatic increase of dislocation density to >1010 mm-2, which ultimately optimizes the thermosensitive performances. Extreme temperature measurement accuracy with R2 as high as 999.98‰ and RSS as low as 0.011 and high-temperature stability with ΔR/R0 as low as 0.23% after aging at 873 K for 1000 h are realized in high-entropy CeNbO4+δ-based ceramics, indicating a breakthrough in the comprehensive performances of thermosensitive ceramics. This work opens up an effective way to design thermosensitive materials with ultrahigh comprehensive performance to meet the requirements of advanced high-temperature sensors.

Abstract
This Review presents an overview from the perspective of tetrahedral chemistry on various oxide ion-conducting materials containing tetrahedral moieties which have received continuous growing attention as candidates for key components of various devices, including solid oxide fuel cells and oxygen sensors, due to the deformation and rotation flexibility of tetrahedral units facilitating oxide ion transport. Emphasis is placed on the structural and mechanistic features of various systems ranging from crystalline to amorphous materials, which include a variety of gallates, silicates, germanates, molybdates, tungstates, vanadates, aluminates, niobate, titanates, indium oxides, and the newly reported borates. They contain tetrahedral units in either isolated or linked manners forming different polyhedral dimensionality (0 to 3) with various defect properties and transport mechanisms. The development of oxide ion conductors containing tetrahedral moieties and the elucidation of the roles of tetrahedral units in oxide ion migration have demonstrated diverse opportunities for discovering superior electrolytes for solid oxide fuel cells and other related devices and provided useful clues for uncovering the key factors directing fast oxide ion conduction.

Abstract
Vanadium(V)-substituted cerium niobate [Ce(Nb1-xVx)O4, CNVx] ceramics were prepared to explore their structure-microwave (MW) property relations and application in C-band dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs). X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed that CNVx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) ceramics exhibited a ferroelastic phase transition at a critical content of V (xc = 0.3) from a monoclinic fergusonite structure to a tetragonal scheelite structure (TF-S), which decreased in temperature as a function of x according to thermal expansion analysis. Optimum microwave dielectric performance was obtained for CNV0.3 with permittivity (εr) of ∼16.81, microwave quality factor (Qf) of ∼41 300 GHz (at ∼8.7 GHz), and temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (TCF) of ∼ -3.5 ppm/°C. εr is dominated by Ce-O phonon absorption in the microwave band; Qf is mainly determined by the porosity, grain size, and proximity of TF-S; and TCF is controlled by the structural distortions associated with TF-S. Terahertz (THz) (0.20-2.00 THz, εr ∼ 12.52 ± 0.70, and tan δ ∼ 0.39 ± 0.17) and infrared measurements are consistent, demonstrating that CNVx (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4) ceramics are effective in the sub-millimeter as well as MW regime. A cylindrical DRA prototype antenna fabricated from CNV0.3 resonated at 7.02 GHz (|S11| = -28.8 dB), matching simulations, with >90% radiation efficiency and 3.34-5.93 dB gain.

Abstract
In this paper, the structural properties and the electrical conductivity of La1−xPrxNbO4+δ (x = 0.00, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3) and PrNbO4+δ are presented and discussed. All synthesized samples crystallized in a monoclinic structure with similar thermal expansion coefficients. The phase transition temperature between the monoclinic and tetragonal structure increases with increasing praseodymium content from 500 °C for undoped LaNbO4+δ to 700 °C for PrNbO4+δ. Thermogravimetry, along with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, confirmed a mixed 3+/4+ oxidation state of praseodymium. All studied materials, in humid air, exhibited mixed protonic, oxygen ionic and hole conductivity. The highest total conductivity was measured in dry air at 700 °C for PrNbO4+δ, and its value was 1.4 × 10−3 S/cm.

Abstract
CeNbO4+δ, a family of oxygen hyperstoichiometry materials with varying oxygen content (CeNbO4, CeNbO4.08, CeNbO4.25, CeNbO4.33) that shows mixed electronic and oxide ionic conduction, has been known for four decades. However, the oxide ionic transport mechanism has remained unclear due to the unknown atomic structures of CeNbO4.08 and CeNbO4.33. Here, we report the complex (3 + 1)D incommensurately modulated structure of CeNbO4.08, and the supercell structure of CeNbO4.33 from single nanocrystals by using a three-dimensional electron diffraction technique. Two oxide ion migration events are identified in CeNbO4.08 and CeNbO4.25 by molecular dynamics simulations, which was a synergic-cooperation knock-on mechanism involving continuous breaking and reformation of Nb2O9 units. However, the excess oxygen in CeNbO4.33 hardly migrates because of the high concentration and the ordered distribution of the excess oxide ions. The relationship between the structure and oxide ion migration for the whole series of CeNbO4+δ compounds elucidated here provides a direction for the performance optimization of these compounds.
