Abstract A facile ultrasonication‐assisted wet chemistry method for preparing multicomponent alloy nanoparticles (NPs) including high‐entropy alloys (HEAs) is reported. PtAuPdRhRu alloy (HEA), quaternary PtAuPdRh alloy, and ternary PtAuPd alloy NPs are produced with ≈3 nm in diameter. Taking advantage of the acoustic cavitation phenomenon in ultrasonication process, noble metal precursors could be co‐reduced by chemical reductants and transform to alloy structures under operation at room conditions. The instantaneous massive energy (≈5000 °C, 2000 atm) occurring in momentary timespans (≤10 ⁻⁹ s) contributes to the formation of multimetallic mixed nanomaterials driven by entropy maximization. Owing to strong synergistic effects, the catalysts with the HEA NPs supported on carbons exhibit prominent electrocatalytic activities for hydrogen evolution reaction.
