Solar‐light assisted water electrolysis using a bifunctional electrocatalyst is a recent methodology in solar‐to‐hydrogen generation. On page 4661 S. Shanmugam and co‐workers show that concurrent improvement in the overpotential for both anodic and cathodic reactions using a single NiCo 2 S 4 nanowire array supported on Ni foam results in an efficient catalyst for continuous hydrogen generation.
