Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a Special Issue of Inorganics dedicated to high-entropy alloys and high-entropy ceramics. High-entropy alloys (HEAs) and high-entropy ceramics (HECs) have garnered significant attention in recent years due to their unique compositional complexity, exceptional mechanical properties, and versatile functional characteristics. These materials, characterized by multiple principal elements in near-equiatomic ratios, exhibit remarkable properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and tunable electronic and magnetic behaviors, making them promising candidates for advanced technological applications.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore the synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of high-entropy alloys and high-entropy ceramics. We welcome contributions that address experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches to understanding the structure–property relationships of these materials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the design and synthesis of novel HEAs and HECs, their applications in catalysis, energy storage, coatings, biomedical devices, and high-temperature environments, and advanced characterization techniques to probe their unique microstructures.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
