<p>Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the key step involved both in water splitting devices as well as in rechargeable metal-air batteries and there is an urgent requirement for a highly stable and low-cost material for efficient OER. In this article, for the first time, electrocatalyst based on high entropy alloy (HEA) of FeCoNiZnGa has been reported for OER. Nano-crystalline high entropy alloys materials withdrew the attention of the research academia due to their emerging unique properties due to the cocktail effect and synergetic effect between the constituent elements. The existing materials (IrO<sub>2</sub>, RuO<sub>2</sub>, etc.) being utilized in the OER reaction contain precious metals. Thus, high entropy alloy made up of low-cost elements has been formulated and tested for the OER, which is found to be highly stable and more efficient. The formulation of nanocrystalline HEA (FeCoNiZnGa) utilized a unique recipe casting-cum-comminution (CCC). After electrochemical CV activation, transition metal oxides formation at the HEA surface helps in OER activities. HEA exhibits a low overpotential of 370 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> with a very small Tafel slope of 71 mV dec<sup>-1</sup> and exceptional long term stability of electrolysis for over 10 h in 1 M KOH alkaline solution, which is extremely stable in comparison to the state-of-the-art OER electrocatalyst RuO<sub>2</sub>. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies after 10 h of long term chronoamperometry testing confirmed high stability of HEA as no change in the crystal structure observed. Our work highlights the great potential of HEA towards oxygen evolution reaction which is primary reaction involved in water splitting.</p>

<div>Renewable harvesting clean and hydrogen energy using the benefits of novel multicatalytic materials of high entropy alloy (HEA equimolar Cu-Ag-Au-Pt-Pd) from formic acid with minimum energy input has been achieved in the present investigation. The synthesis effect of pristine elements in the HEA drives the electro-oxidation reaction towards non-carbonaceous pathway . The atomistic simulation based on DFT rationalize the distinct lowering of the d-band center for the individual atoms in the HEA as compared to the pristine counterparts. This catalytic activity of the HEA has also been extended to methanol electro-oxidation to show the unique capability of the novel catalyst. The nanostructured HEA, properties using a combination of casting and cry omilling techniques can further be utilized as fuel cell anode in direct formic acid/methanol fuel cells (DFFE).<br></div>
