Article Abstract
High-entropy-alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) have attracted great attention because of their unique complex compositions and tailorable properties. Further expanding the compositional space is of great significance for enriching the material library. Here, a step-alloying strategy is developed to synthesis HEA-NPs containing a range of strongly repellent elements (e.g., Bi-W) by using the rich-Pt cores formed during the first liquid phase reaction as the seed of the second thermal diffusion. Remarkably, the representative HEA-NPs-(14) with up to 14 elements exhibits extremely excellent multifunctional electrocatalytic performance for pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), alkaline methanol oxidation reaction (MOR), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Briefly, HEA-NPs-(14) only requires the ultralow overpotentials of 11 and 18 mV to deliver 10 mA cm and exhibits ultralong durability for 400 and 264 h under 100 mA cm in 0.5 m H SO and 1 m KOH, respectively, which surpasses most advanced pH-universal HER catalysts. Moreover, HEA-NPs-(14) also exhibits an impressive peak current density of 12.6 A mg in 1 m KOH + 1 m MeOH and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V (vs RHE.) in 0.1 m KOH. The work further expands the spectrum of possible metal alloys, which is important for the broad compositional space and future data-driven material discovery.

ConspectusHydrogen spillover, the simultaneous diffusion of protons and electrons, has recently emerged as a key phenomenon in the functionalization of hydrogen in cutting-edge research fields. Its occurrence has been found to significantly impact hydrogen-related fields of science, such as catalysis, reduction, and hydrogen storage. Since the discovery of hydrogen spillover more than half a century ago, although many scientists have reported its unique properties and have attempted to utilize them, no practical advanced applications have been established yet.

Developing cost-effective, stable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts effective across pH-Universal remains challenging. This work reports a one-pot synthesized Pt-Fe-Ni-Mo-Co high-entropy alloy catalyst supported on Ketjen Black (HEA@KB) featuring stacked nanoparticles. By systematically tuning the iron coordination, the optimized HEA@KB demonstrates outstanding HER activity with low overpotentials of 12.

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have recently emerged as promising electrocatalysts for complex reactions owing to their tunable electronic structures and diverse, unique binding sites. However, their vast compositional space, in terms of both elemental variety and atomic ratios, presents a major challenge to the rational design of high-performance catalysts, as experimental efforts are often hindered by ambiguous element selection and inefficient trial-and-error methods. In this work, a bottom-up research strategy using machine learning-assisted first-principles calculations was applied to accelerate the design of quinary HEAs toward efficient multielectron transfer reactions.

CO electroreduction is limited by linear scaling relationships that couple the stabilities of key intermediates (*COOH, *CHO) to CO adsorption, placing pure Cu catalysts at a volcano-plot ceiling of activity and selectivity. Here, we harness the compositional variety of nanosized AgAuCuPdPt high-entropy-alloy (HEA) particles to break these constraints. We trained an ultralight linear-regression surrogate (MAE ≈ 0.

Supported small and dense high-entropy-alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) are promising functional materials for many applications. However, their synthesis remains a grand challenge because the extreme heating typically required to raise the entropic contribution to the formation of a solid solution unavoidably causes the sintering of HEA-NPs. Herein, we present a one-step continuous-flow spray pyrolysis strategy to synthesize multicomponent (from quinary to denary) HEA-NPs with an average size of <2 nanometers and metal loadings of ~30 wt% uniformly dispersed on various carbon substrates, including graphene and carbon black.
