Eutectic high entropy alloys (EHEAs) contain multiphases with nanometer length scale. Compared with conventional eutectic alloys, EHEAs have multiple elements in each phase whose synergistic effect leads EHEAs to optimal mechanical and functional properties. The inventors fabricated 3-dimensional (3D) porous structures that show great potential as a catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) due to their tremendous specific surface area and multicomponent effects in ligaments. Given their good mechanical properties, hydrophobic properties, and catalytic properties for HER, as well as their resistance to corrosion, these 3D porous structures are competitive candidates for both functional and structural applications.
