Abstract Complex solid solutions (“high entropy alloys”), comprising five or more principal elements, promise a paradigm change in electrocatalysis due to the availability of millions different active sites with unique arrangements multiple elements directly neighbouring binding site. Thus, strong electronic and geometric effects are induced, which known as effective tools tune activity. With example oxygen reduction reaction, we show that by utilising data‐driven discovery cycle,...
Active, selective and stable catalysts are imperative for sustainable energy conversion, engineering materials with such properties highly desired. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) offer a vast compositional space tuning properties. Too vast, however, to traverse without the proper tools. Here, we report use of Bayesian optimization on model based density functional theory (DFT) predict most active compositions electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) least possible number sampled two HEAs...
Abstract High entropy alloys (HEA) comprise a huge search space for new electrocatalysts. Next to element combinations, the optimization of chemical composition is essential tuning HEA specific catalytic processes. Simulations electrocatalytic activity can guide experimental efforts. Yet, currently available underlying model assumptions do not necessarily align with evidence. To study deviations theoretical models and data requires statistically relevant datasets. Here, combinatorial...

Abstract Complex solid solutions (“high entropy alloys” with a single solid‐solution phase) hold great promise in electrocatalysis because of their nearly unlimited number different active sites exposed at the surface. It has been shown by theoretical studies that multiple arrangements elements directly neighboring binding site create millions differently catalytic sites. We report zooming‐in approach using scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM) to distinguish between averaged...
High-entropy alloys are claimed to possess superior stability due thermodynamic contributions. However, this statement mostly lies on a hypothetical basis. In study, we use on-line inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer investigate the dissolution of five representative electrocatalysts in acidic and alkaline media wide potential window targeting most important applications. To address both model applied systems, synthesized thin films carbon-supported nanoparticles ranging from an...
While extensive success has been gained in the structural chemistry of U-Se system, synthesis and characterization Th-based Se structures are widely unexplored.
