Engineering of Pore Design and Oxygen Vacancy on High-Entropy Oxides by a Microenvironment Tailoring Strategy

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) exhibit abundant structural diversity due to cationic and anionic sublattices with independence, rendering them superior in catalytic applications compared to monometallic oxides. Nevertheless, the conventional high-temperature calcination approach undermines the porosity and reduces the exposure of active sites (such as oxygen vacancies, OVs) in HEOs, leading to diminished catalytic efficiency. Herein, we fabricate a series of HEOs with a large surface area utilizing a microenvironment modulation strategy (m-NiMgCuZnCo: 86 m
