We report a user-friendly methodology for the successful designing of targeted single-phased face-centered cubic (fcc) FeCoNiMnCr high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanoparticle-grafted N-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The nanostructure assimilates the advantages of N-doped carbon and HEA nanoparticles as a core for the efficient promotion of electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). It emulates the commercial Pt-C electrocatalyst for ORR and shows promise for better performance in the Ohmic polarization region of fuel cells. In addition, it ensures superior efficacy over those of numerous recently reported transition metal-based traditional alloy composites for ORR. The presented methodology has the potential to pave the way for the effective designing of a variety of targeted HEA systems with ease, which is necessary to widen the domain of HEA for numerous applications.

Despite of urgent needs for highly stable and efficient electrochemical water-splitting devices, it remains extremely challenging to acquire highly stable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts under harsh industrial conditions. Here, a successful in situ synthesis of FeCoNiMnCr high-entropy alloy (HEA) and high-entropy oxide (HEO) heterocatalysts via a Cr-induced spontaneous reconstruction strategy is reported, and it is demonstrated that they deliver excellent ultrastable OER electrocatalytic performance with a low overpotential of 320 mV at 500 mA cm and a negligible activity loss after maintaining at 100 mA cm for 240 h. Remarkably, the heterocatalyst holds outstanding long-term stability under harsh industrial condition of 6 m KOH and 85 °C at a current density of as high as 500 mA cm over 500 h.

Spinel oxides have attracted increasing interest due to their excellent activity in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, despite the high intrinsic OER activity, their poor electrical conductivity and weak structural stability prevented their application for a long time. These shortcomings can be solved by effectively adjusting the electronic structures of spinel oxides through a high-entropy strategy.
