Abstract:Designing electrocatalysts with high-performance for both reduction and oxidation reactions faces severe challenges. Here, the uniform and small size (~3.4 nm) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) Pt18Ni26Fe15Co14Cu27 nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by a simple low-temperature (<250 oC) oil phase synthesis strategy at atmospheric pressure for the first time. The Pt18Ni26Fe15Co14Cu27/C catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and methanol oxidation reaction (MO… Show more
“…2e and f). 49 The catalyst shows an ultrasmall overpotential of 11 mV at 10 mA cm −2 for the HER and 15.04 A mg Pt −1 is achieved for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in alkaline media (Fig. 2g).…”
High-entropy materials (HEMs) are new-fashioned functional materials in the field of catalysis owing to their large designing space, tunable electronic structure, interesting “cocktail effect”, and entropy stabilization effect. Many effective...

“…In this regard, high-entropy metal alloys (≥5 metals) with broader compositional tunability are ideal candidates for the cycle; they can be designed for the optimal adsorption/reaction of intermediates via multipleelemental synergy and thus boost electrocatalytic efficiency in accordance with the Sabatier principle. 78,79 In addition, the high-entropy nature facilitates the stabilization of the alloy phase and inhibits the movement of dislocations, thereby increasing the catalyst stability with a longer cycle period for maximizing the self-adaptive electrocatalysis efficiency. The development of electrochemical approaches for the in situ synthesis of high-entropy metal alloys is essential for cycle applications.…”
