Key Points

To establish a low-temperature colloidal synthesis route for high-entropy metal sulfide nanoparticles using simultaneous multication exchange.
Reacted pre-synthesized roxbyite Cu1.8S nanoparticles with a substoichiometric liquid mixture of Zn2+, Co2+, In3+, and Ga3+ cations.
Conducted comparative cation exchange reactions using reduced subsets of cations to evaluate phase formation constraints and thermal stability.
Successfully synthesized uniform colloidal nanoparticles of the high-entropy metal sulfide Zn0.25Co0.22Cu0.28In0.16Ga0.11S at solution-accessible temperatures.
Control reactions using fewer incoming cations failed to generate the high-entropy phase, demonstrating that multication exchange provides both entropic and enthalpic driving forces necessary for stabilization.
