Non-metallic high-entropy compound, and preparation method and use thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of photocatalysis/electrocatalysis, and in particular to a non-metallic high-entropy compound, and a preparation method and use thereof. In the present disclosure, the non-metallic high-entropy compound includes at least five non-metallic elements, where each of the at least five non-metallic elements has a molar proportion of 0.1% to 99.0%, and a total atomic proportion of the at least five non-metallic elements are 100%. The non-metallic high-entropy compound has a controllable band gap, an adjustable conductivity, and a desirable surface activity, and shows a catalytic reaction activity for hydrogen production by high-efficiency photocatalytic/electrocatalytic water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, or organic pollutant degradation. Moreover, synthetic raw materials are all non-metals, which are cheap and easily available, while a synthesis process is simple and easy to implement.
