About The Position

High entropy materials have gained attention due to potentially higher thermodynamic stability and activity tunability, which is beneficial in catalysis. The development of critical-material-free, highly active, and durable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remains one of the central challenges in electrocatalysis. Among many fundamental questions about the mechanistic interpretations of high activity, the relative roles of dynamic species at the surface revealed in our recent work vs multiple species at the surface and in the bulk of the catalyst remains active area of research. This proposal aims to investigate a new class of OER catalysts based on transition-metal high-entropy hydroxyoxides (HEHOs), which combine multicomponent compositional diversity with entropy-driven structural stability.
