“…Nonetheless, we will use the expression HEA throughout this manuscript as it is deeply rooted in the discourse. It is well established that a rational design of HEA composition allows controlling their physicochemical properties at the nanoscale and performance, e.g., in catalysis [12,15,16] and energy storage [17][18][19]. Due to these unique interactions of distinct neighboring metal atoms [2], HEA NPs are discussed and developed as very promising candidates to replace established but scarce and expensive noble metals in catalytic reactions such as oxygen evolution [20][21][22][23][24], oxygen reduction [2,25,26], methanol oxidation [27][28][29], CO 2 reduction [30,31] and hydrogen evolution [22,32,33].…”
