High-entropy materials (HEMs) have garnered extensive attention owing to their diverse and captivating physicochemical properties. Yet, fine-tuning morphological properties of HEMs remains a formidable challenge, constraining their potential applications. To address this, we present a rapid, low-energy consumption diethylenetriamine (DETA)-assisted microwave hydrothermal method for synthesizing a series of two-dimensional high-entropy selenides (HESes). Subsequently, the obtained HESes are harnessed for photocatalytic water splitting. Noteworthy is the optimized HESes, CdZnMnCuCrSe, showcasing an output rate of hydrogen of 16.08 mmol h g and a quantum efficiency of ca. 30% under 420 nm monochromatic LED irradiation. It is revealed that the photocatalytic performance of these HESes stems not only from the enlarged specific surface area and enhanced photogenerated charge carrier utilization efficiency but also from the promoted formation of the Cd-H bond, influenced by multiple principal elements on the Cd. These findings provide a guide for the design of HEMs tailored for various applications.

Two-dimensional (2D) high-entropy transition metal dichalcogenides (HETMDs) have gained significant interest due to their structural properties and correlated possibilities for high-end devices. However, the controlled synthesis of 2D HETMDs presents substantial challenges owing to the distinction in the inherent characteristics among diverse metal elements in the synthesis, such as saturated vapor pressure of precursors and formation energy of products. Here, we present the synthesis of a 2D HETMD single crystal with 0.

MXene, a notable two-dimensional transition metal carbide, has attracted increasing attention in materials science due to its unique attributes, driving innovations in energy storage, sensors, catalysts, and electromagnetic shielding. The property and application performance are determined by the electronic structure, which can be described based on the density of states (DOS). The conventional density functional theory (DFT) calculation is able to provide the DOS spectrum of a specific atomic structure.

ConspectusMXenes, among other two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, hexagonal BN, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), 2D metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), are the fastest growing class discovered thus far. The general formula of MXenes is MXT, where M, X, and T represent an early transition metal (Ti, V, Nb, Mo, etc.), C and/or N, and the surface functional groups (typically, O, OH, F, Cl), respectively, and can be between 1 and 4.

Mesoporous single crystals have received more attention than ever in catalysis-related applications due to their unique structural functions. Despite great efforts, their progress in engineering crystallinity and composition has been remarkably slower than expected. In this manuscript, a template-free strategy is developed to prepare two-dimensional high-entropy oxide (HEO) nanoplates with single-crystallinity and penetrated mesoporosity, which further ensures precise control over high-entropy compositions and crystalline phases.
