Synthesis and Characterisation of High Entropy Metal Chalcogenides

High entropy materials are materials with 5 or more principle components within crystalline lattices. High entropy metal chalcogenides are a recent (since 2016) development in this area that have shown exceptional promise in both thermoelectric energy conversion and electrocatalysis. However, these materials remain limited in both compositional range and characterisation. In this talk the compositional boundaries of high entropy metal sulfides will be explored, along with advanced and comprehensive characterisation techniques and our initial explorations into acidic hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis.
