Oxygenate-induced structural evolution of high-entropy electrocatalysts for multifunctional alcohol electrooxidation integrated with hydrogen production

High-entropy compounds have been emerging as promising candidates for electrolysis, yet their controllable electrosynthesis strategy remains a formidable challenge because of the ambiguous ionic interaction and codeposition mechanism. Herein, we report a oxygenates directionally induced electrodeposition strategy to construct high-entropy materials with amorphous features, on which the structural evolution from high-entropy phosphide to oxide is confirmed by introducing vanadate, thus realizing the simultaneous optimization of composition and structure.
