contents Solid oxide fuel cells are efficient energy conversion devices essential to clean energy development, yet their broad application is limited by material challenges, including sluggish oxygen reduction kinetics at intermediate temperatures, electrode instability and vulnerability to contaminants. High-entropy oxides, a novel class of materials characterized by multiple principal elements and high configurational entropy, present a promising approach to overcome these issues via their distinctive "four core effects". This review begins with the fundamentals of high-entropy materials, covering their definition, phase stabilization mechanisms, and relevant descriptors, then systematically reviews their progress as SOFC cathodes, electrolytes, and anodes. Key advances are summarized, and current challenges are analyzed, offering guidance for the design of high-performance and stable high-entropy oxides for solid oxide fuel cells.
