In this study, mechanically alloyed Fe70Nb10V10B10, Co70Nb10V10B10, Ni70Nb10V10B10, and (FeCoNi) 70Nb10V10B10 high-entropy alloys were successfully synthesized, and their structural, magnetic, and radiation shielding properties were systematically investigated. Structural analysis revealed that Fe favored bcc phase formation, while Co and Ni stabilized fcc structures; the equiatomic alloy resulted in a single-phase fcc solid solution with the smallest crystallite size (2.1 nm). All samples exhibited soft ferromagnetic behavior, with the Fe-based alloy achieving the highest saturation magnetization (120 emu/g), and the (FeCoNi) 70Nb10V10B10 alloy displaying the lowest coercivity. Among all compositions, Co70Nb10V10B10 demonstrated the best gamma and neutron shielding performance, showing the highest linear attenuation coefficient and fast neutron removal cross-section. The equiatomic alloy also exhibited well-balanced and stable shielding behavior. These findings position Co70Nb10V10B10 as a promising candidate for multifunctional applications requiring both efficient radiation protection and favorable magnetic properties.

Metal-based oxides, ceramics, and composite catalysts are commonly used for CO2 conversion. To increase the efficiency of these catalysts, strategies such as heterostructure, defect engineering, nanolayers, mesoporous structure development, and oxygen vacancy engineering are used. In recent years, highly stable high entropy alloys (HEAs), which include at least five different elements in equimolar or nearly equimolar ratios, have recently come to be recognized as promising CO2 conversion catalysts. Their unique properties enable enhanced reactivity and selectivity, making them highly valuable in addressing CO2 emissions and climate change challenges. When several elements are included in a catalyst, surface microstructures with different atomic configurations and active catalytic sites are produced. As a result, different adsorption modes arise for reactants and intermediates. In addition, the mixing of metal elements in varying atomic ratios causes changes in the electronic structure of metals. The distinct catalytic characteristics of HEAs are a result of modifications to their electronic structure brought on by lattice stretching, distortion, and compositional alterations.
