Abstract
The colloidal synthesis of high entropy oxide (HEO) nanocrystals requires navigating and balancing competing reaction pathways, which are often unknown. There is also a limited understanding of HEO nanocrystal formation and growth pathways, which hinders morphological control. Here, we report on the colloidal synthesis of rocksalt-type (FeCoMnMgZn)O nanocrystals with different morphologies. Reaction pathway studies show a Fe-rich spinel-type intermediate and indicate that competing chemical reactivities dictate the final compositions and morphologies. Atomic resolution imaging analysis of concave cubic and dendritic (FeCoMnMgZn)O nanocrystals indicate a 1.73% lattice expansion relative to bulk FeO. The (FeCoMnMgZn)O nanocrystals are active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media.
期刊介绍:
The flagship journal of the American Chemical Society, known as the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS), has been a prestigious publication since its establishment in 1879. It holds a preeminent position in the field of chemistry and related interdisciplinary sciences. JACS is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research papers, covering a wide range of topics, and encompasses approximately 19,000 pages of Articles, Communications, and Perspectives annually. With a weekly publication frequency, JACS plays a vital role in advancing the field of chemistry by providing essential research.
