The escalating impact of electromagnetic radiation on human health and electronic device stability has driven intensive research into advanced electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) materials in recent decades. Among them, high-entropy oxides (HEOs) have evolved into increasingly popular research in the material field since they were first reported in 2015. They are particularly promising for EMA applications due to their remarkable tunability and almost infinite compositional flexibility. The advantages of HEOs as EMA material from four key aspects are systematically clarified: the intrinsic properties of the high-entropy system, crystal structure, compositional design, and synthesis strategies. A forward-looking view on the future development of HEOs in EMA is highlighted, demonstrating six crucial points: dielectric genes, high-throughput computational methods, material integration strategies, microstructural modulation, the high-entropy concept expansion, and functional expansion. This perspective offers theoretical insights and technological references to advance high-performance HEO research by systematically connecting the HEO family and EMA functionality.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) significantly impact air quality as photochemical smog precursors and health hazards. Catalytic oxidation is a leading VOC abatement method but suffers from catalyst deactivation due to metal sintering and competitive adsorption in complex mixtures. Strong metal-support interactions (SMSIs) provide atomic level control of interfacial electronic and geometric structures.

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.

High-entropy oxide (HEO) thermodynamics transcend temperature-centric approaches, spanning a multidimensional landscape where oxygen chemical potential plays a decisive role. Here, we experimentally demonstrate how controlling the oxygen chemical potential coerces multivalent cations into divalent states in rock salt HEOs. We construct a preferred valence phase diagram based on thermodynamic stability and equilibrium analysis, alongside a high throughput enthalpic stability map derived from atomistic calculations leveraging machine learning interatomic potentials.

Multimetal nanoparticles, including medium- and high-entropy spinel ferrites (MESF/HESFs), are of significant interest, but large-scale production with high monodispersity remains challenging and poorly documented. Traditional synthesis methods balance simplicity and quality, with thermal decomposition being optimal for scalable, uniform nanoparticle production. However, its utility is limited by costly and sensitive precursors like acetylacetonates and carbonyls, or oleates, which require tedious synthesis, are hard to handle, and are moisture-sensitive, impacting nanoparticle quality.

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) offer tunable redox chemistry and thermal stability for catalytic applications. Here, we compare two spinel-type HEOs, MnFeCoNiCuO and MnCoNiCuZnO, with similar configurational entropy but different redox behaviors under reverse water-gas shift (RWGS) conditions. Only MnFeCoNiCuO exhibits reversible exsolution and reincorporation of Fe/Co/Ni/Cu alloy nanoparticles (NPs) during H-CO cycling, as confirmed by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy and wavelet-transformation.
