Water electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity, is gaining traction in the scientific community. A key component of this process is the catalyst, which accelerates the reaction. Among the myriad catalysts available, the Fe-Ni catalyst stands out for its exceptional properties and potential. Here, we delve into why Fe-Ni catalysts are […]

Entropy is a complex concept. It is usually associated with disorder or randomness. Yet this is a holdover from classical thermodynamics. In the context of catalysts, entropy is better described as complexity. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) thus feature elaborate and highly configurational microstructures. This results from their diverse heterogeneity: HEAs contain no less than five elements
