In the past decade, the landscape of high-entropy materials (HEMs) research has undergone a remarkable transformation, marked by a convergence of multidisciplinary efforts. Initially conceived as a novel alloy design concept, HEMs have now flourished into a burgeoning research domain that encompasses alloys, ceramics, and polymers with extraordinary mechanical, thermal, electrical, and catalytic properties. The exploration of diverse compositions and crystal structures, coupled with advances in computational modeling and materials characterization techniques, has led to a deeper understanding of the underlying principles governing their formation processes and exceptional performance. Collaborative endeavors among researchers from different communities propelled the development of tailored HEMs for specific applications, ranging from structural components to renewable energy systems.
This Collection aims to collate original research striving to address challenges related to scalability, processing techniques, atomic-level microstructure analysis, and structure-property relationship in this vibrant field.
