On page 6885, Z‐H. Huang, Q.‐H.Yang, and co‐workers demonstrate an efficient thermal etching process for the synthesis of holey graphitic carbon nanosheets, via etching of bulk graphitic carbon nitride under an ammonia atmosphere. These nanosheets exhibit significantly improved photocatalytic activity towards hydrogen evolution reactions under visible light conditions, up to 20 times that of the bulk material.
