Abstract

High-entropy perovskite fluorides (HEPFs) have great potential in electrocatalysis that has not been realized because of the limitation of a high-temperature synthetic route and the limited understanding of high-entropy materials. The use of HEPFs in effective oxygen evolution catalysis and a feasible synthesis route for HEPFs in a boiled solution by combining a hydrothermal method with mechanochemistry are first reported here. These HEPFs consisting of cost-effective elements dramatically gave excellent catalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction in an alkaline media.
