Abstract
A method for electrolysis of water and a method for preparing a catalyst for electrolysis of water are provided. The method for electrolysis of water includes using a high entropy alloy as a catalyst. Further, the method for preparing a catalyst for electrolysis of water includes the steps of placing a substrate in an aqueous electrolyte containing a high entropy alloy precursor and performing an electroplating process on the substrate to form a high entropy alloy catalyst on the substrate.
