Two‐dimensional (2D) high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as promising electrocatalysts due to the benefits of polymetallic coordination and robust electrical conductivity. However, the multiple elements in 2D HEAs pose challenges in achieving a uniform composition and maintaining a 2D limit morphology, complicating their structural characterization. Furthermore, even minor adjustments to the composition can significantly alter the properties of 2D HEAs, underscoring the need for a deeper understanding of their structure–property relationships to advance synthesis and application. Therefore, this review critically examines the intrinsic factors influencing synthesis methods and the practical applications of 2D HEAs in electrocatalysis for sustainable energy conversion. The urgency is emphasized for developing new synthesis techniques, enhancing advanced characterization methods, and gaining profound insights into the functional mechanisms of 2D HEAs.

“…Such promises of HEA materials have unsurprisingly led several groups to explore them at the nanoscale, either as nanowires 57 or as nanoparticles. [58][59][60][61] In recent years the synthesis of various high-entropy alloy nanoparticles, or high-entropy nanoalloys (HENAs) made from AuCuPdNiCo, 62 CoNiPtAuCu, 63 AlCoCrCuFeNi, 64 the so-called Cantor alloy FeCrMnNiCo, [65][66][67] and even up to 8 different elements 68 were successfully reported.…”
