Entropy plays a pivotal role in catalysis, and extensive research efforts have been directed to understanding the enthalpy-entropy relationship that defines the reaction pathways of molecular species. On the other side, surface of the catalysts, entropic effects have been rarely investigated because of the difficulty in deciphering the increased complexities in multicomponent systems. Recent advances in high-entropy materials (HEMs) have triggered broad interests in exploring entropy-stabilized systems for catalysis, where the enhanced configurational entropy affords a virtually unlimited scope for tailoring the structures and properties of HEMs. This symposium will foster sharing knowledge between chemistry, catalysis, and theoreticians to better understand and take advantages of the entropy effects for manipulating the structure evolution of catalysts and associated reaction chemistry. Topics include but are not limited to: 1) Synthesis and structure manipulation of high entropy materials 2) Application of high entropy materials in catalysis 3) Operando characterization techniques in high entropy materials 4) Computational studies in high entropy material-promoted catalytic procedures
