Mirkin high entropy

New three-step method opens a systematic path to next-generation catalyst discovery

Chad A. Mirkin and collaborators, including researchers through the International Institute for Nanotechnology, have developed a new strategy to precisely engineer high-entropy alloy nanoparticles for catalysis. The approach enables control over both composition and nanoscale surface structure, scaling synthesis to millions of nanoparticles across 90,000 unique compositions and opening new pathways to discover next-generation catalysts.
