A strategy involving organic photocatalytic conversion using hydrothermal synthesis of high-entropy oxide (HEO) (CoCuZnMnNa)Ox nanoparticles was developed. Under mild conditions, HEO nanoparticles were driven by visible light to achieve ideal yields and selectivity in sulfide oxidative coupling reactions and benzimidazole cyclization reactions, with a wide substrate range. This study is expected to contribute to the use of high-entropy oxides in organic photocatalysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
