On page 5778, J.‐G. Wang and co‐workers present a 3D urching‐like Mo‐W 18 O 49 catalyst that exhibits a small onset potential and Tafel slope in catalyzing hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Synergies between an increased amount of active sites and activity improvement by Mo doping as well as a high surface area cause the performance enhancement. Scalable, highly efficient Mo‐W 18 O 49 HER electrocatalysts obtained via this simple doping strategy are promising for future water splitting devices.
