On page 8202, Y. Chen, L. H. Li and co‐workers provide new perspectives on the strong surface adsorption capability of two‐dimensional nanomaterials. They demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that as an adsorbent, BN nanosheets experience conformational changes after surface adsorption of molecules with a resultant increase of adsorption energy and efficiency. This fundamental discovery is valuable for many applications.
