The concealment and delayed characteristics of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) pose significant challenges for the development of hydrogen-resistant materials. As a novel category of multi-principal-element alloys, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have emerged as ideal candidates for the next generation of hydrogen-resistant alloys due to their unique design philosophy, which endows them with excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, high-temperature stability, and hydrogen embrittlement resistance. In recent years, research on the hydrogen embrittlement resistance of HEAs has attracted extensive attention. This review systematically summarizes the hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms in both conventional alloys and HEAs, critically analyzes the contradictions and controversial issues in the current literature, proposes design strategies for hydrogen embrittlement-resistant HEAs, and discusses future research directions in this field.
