The development of efficient electrocatalysts for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) is essential for anion exchange membrane fuel cells and advancing the hydrogen economy. Herein, we demonstrated PtRuRhPdIr high-entropy alloy aerogels (HEAAs) with highly distorted structure as efficient HOR electrocatalysts and realized effective control of PtRu-based metallic aerogels (MAs) with elemental components ranging from two to seven. Specially, PtRuRhPdIr HEAAs on carbon (PtRuRhPdIr HEAAs/C) exhibit excellent HOR activity, with Pt group metal (PGM)-normalized mass activity (5.75 A mg PGM –1 ) at 50 mV and exchange current density normalized by electrochemical surface area (0.69 mA cm –2 ), approximately 16.9 and 4.1 times that of the commercial Pt/C (0.34 A mg PGM –1, 0.17 mA cm –2 ), respectively. The mechanism study shows that the highly distorted PtRuRhPdIr HEAAs provide abundant unsaturated sites for HOR, and the synergistic effect of multiple-active sites balances the adsorption of H* and *OH, boosting the HOR performance.
