This invention belongs to the field of
nanomaterials and catalytic
chemistry, and discloses a chiral high-entropy
ceramic electrocatalyst prepared based on a ligand-controlled collapse mechanism. In the synthesis of this catalyst, multiple transition metals are first introduced into a
zeolite imidazole ester (ZIF) precursor to construct high-entropy nodes, and then grafted with sterically hindered chiral functional organic ligands exhibiting thermal retardation effects. Through a unique kinetic
retardation effect, the
metal aggregation rate is slowed down during
pyrolysis, allowing the carbon-
nitrogen framework to complete directional
helical assembly before
metal melting, ultimately forming a
ceramic structure with atomically high-entropy active sites and macroscopic chiral channels. The catalyst prepared by this invention exhibits high specific surface area and enantioselectivity, making it particularly suitable for the in-situ synthesis of chiral intermediates under extreme
aerospace environments.
