High-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit a remarkable capacity to modulate geometric and electronic structures for the construction of catalysts with unpredictable and exceptional performance, and have attracted substantial acclaim within the domain of materials science. In this comprehensive review, we present a thorough summary of the synthesis and multiple applications of HEAs in the realm of electrocatalysis. Our review encompasses the diverse synthesis methodologies of HEA nanomaterials and their pivotal roles in amplifying electrocatalytic performance in hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs), oxygen evolution reactions (OERs), oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs), alcohol oxidation reactions (AORs), and CO reduction reactions (CORRs), and more. Furthermore, we address the intricate challenges and promising avenues that lie ahead in this research area. Reviewing recent breakthroughs, emerging paradigms, and prospects on the horizon, it becomes increasingly evident that HEAs harbor immense potential to reshape the landscape of energy conversion and storage, and emerge as paramount contenders for the development of cutting-edge electrocatalytic materials that hold the key to a sustainable energy future.
