Cover Story | Issue 2 Back Cover
This cover highlights strategies to engineer the lattice of high-entropy alloy (HEA) nanomaterials to promote their electrocatalytic performances, which mainly include two categories: lattice strain engineering and phase engineering. Four exemplary cases as a result of lattice engineering of HEA nanomaterials are presented, i.e., formation of amorphous HEA nanostructures, lattice strain induced by grain boundary, strain mediated by defects, and construction of high-entropy intermetallic (HEI) nanomaterials. These approaches enable atomic-level manipulation of electronic configurations, surface reactivity, and structural stability, leading to exceptional catalytic performance in critical energy conversion reactions. This review article systematically explores these lattice engineering strategies and provides both fundamental insights and practical guidelines towards atomic-scale design and preparation of high-performance HEA electrocatalysts.
