High-entropy materials (HEMs), including high-entropy alloys (HEAs), high-entropy oxides (HEOs), and other high-entropy compounds, have gained significant interests over the past years. These materials have unique structures with the coexistence of antisite disordering and crystal periodicity, which were originally investigated as structural materials. Recently, they have emerged for energy-related applications, such as catalysis, energy storage, etc. In this work, we review the research progress of energy-related applications of HEMs. After an introduction on the background, theory, and syntheses of HEMs, we survey their applications including electrocatalysis, batteries, and others, aiming to retrieve the correlations between their structures and performances. In the end, we discussed the challenges and future directions for developing HEMs.
高熵材料（HEMs），包括高熵合金（HEAs）、高熵氧化物（HEOs）和其他高熵化合物，在过去几年中引起了广泛关注。这些材料具有独特的结构，其中反位无序和晶体周期性共存，最初是作为结构材料进行研究的。最近，它们已出现在与能源相关的应用中，如催化、储能等。在这项工作中，我们综述了高熵材料在能源相关应用方面的研究进展。在介绍了高熵材料的背景、理论和合成方法之后，我们考察了它们的应用，包括电催化、电池等，旨在找出其结构与性能之间的相关性。最后，我们讨论了开发高熵材料面临的挑战和未来方向。
