Abstract: High-entropy oxide glasses (HEOGs) offer superior mechanical and optical properties. However, their synthesis via conventional crucible melt-quenching method is challenged by their high melting points and strong crystallization tendencies. Here, we report the synthesis of La-Y-Ti-Zr-Al-O HEOGs in just 9–15 s using ultrafast high-temperature synthesis (UHS). Through interrupted quenching experiments, the amorphization, compositional evolution, and phase transformation of HEOGs during the UHS process were investigated. The UHS-prepared glasses are fully amorphous and compositionally homogeneous, exhibiting excellent mechanical properties, including high hardness (∼9.07 GPa) and superior fracture toughness (∼1.57 MPa m1/2), and high thermal stability comparable to those produced by the state-of-the-art aerodynamic levitation (ADL) technique. Notably, the reducing environment of UHS induces lower-valent cations (such as Ti3+) and oxygen-deficient centers in HEOGs, resulting in a unique black appearance and strong broadband absorption across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared spectrum. This work clarifies the link between UHS process characteristics, defect chemistry, and the sample properties, offering a viable route for the rapid preparation of high-performance HEOGs.
