Recently achieved high-entropy alloy nanostructures via novel synthetic strategies include 0D nanoparticles, 1D nanotubes and nanowires, 2D nanoscrolls and nanosheets, and 3D lattice and nanohybrids.

Now, three types of hierarchical 1D/2D nanostructures have been prepared by selectively growing semiconductor nanorod arrays (CdS or CdSe) on the different facets of hexagonal nanoplates.
