Themed collection High Entropy Energy Materials

Driven by the burgeoning demand for high performance eco-friendly thermoelectric materials in the mid-temperature range (573–773 K), we herein focus on GeTe based alloys exhibiting high ZT of >2.0 owing to their promising band structure.

In this review, we present the key synthetic strategies for the preparation of high entropy materials and their applications in different electrocatalysis reactions.

Lewis and co-workers review the use of high entropy materials in electrochemical energy storage devices.

Rechargeable zinc-air battery operations in an aqueous alkaline electrolyte were studied using a novel FCC crystalline high-entropy alloy CCMNF (Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Fe) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst at the air electrode.

This work proposes an Li₂O-doping strategy for improving the lithium storage ability of a high-entropy oxide, and its lithiation process is investigated in detail, which may promote the further development of high-entropy oxide anodes.

The Zr₂MgV_2−xFe_xCrNi high-entropy alloys exhibit better hydrogen sorption properties at room temperature than those without Mg-substitution.

Oxygen vacancy-rich high-entropy (Cr_0.2Mn_0.2Fe_0.2Co_0.2Ni_0.2)₃O₄ oxide nanofibres with granular structure are good candidates for the preparation of electrocatalytic inks.
