“…High-entropy alloys can be macroscopically defined as a novel material containing five or more dominant elemental components, of which the atomic percentage of constituent elements varying from 5% to 35%. − Due to the four-core effect, including high-entropy effect, lattice distortion effect, sluggish diffusion effect, and cocktail effect, high-entropy alloys have been widely applied in the field of biomedical materials, aerospace engineering, photothermal conversion, building materials, and magnetocaloric response, etc. − Especially, the continuous adjustment of the surface electronic structure on high-entropy alloys in nanoscale stimulates the development of heterogeneous catalysis. − High-entropy intermetallics, as a brand new concept, can integrate the advantages of high-entropy alloys and intermetallics, thus becoming an important supplement to high-entropy alloys and intermetallics and further enhancing the electrocatalytic activity and stability (Scheme a). − Although the ordered structure is an important feature of intermetallics different from disordered solid-solution alloys, the site occupancy in each sublattice of high-entropy intermetallics is still random or nearly random due to the more constituent elements than sublattices (Figure a).…”
