Across the Board: Sheng Dai on Catalyst Design by Entropic Factors

Abstract

In this series of articles, the board members of ChemSusChem discuss recent research articles that they consider of exceptional quality and importance for sustainability. This entry features Dr. S. Dai, who discusses high-entropy materials (HEMs) as new materials in catalysis. In this viewpoint, two types of HEMs (alloy and non-alloy HEMs), their synthesis, and their application in various catalytic reactions are presented.

Keywords: heterogeneous catalysis; high-entropy alloys; high-entropy materials; single-atom catalysts; solid solutions.
