A series of peapod‐like composites with component‐controllable Co(S x Se 1− x ) 2 nanoparticles encapsulated in porous carbon fibers is fabricated by Yu Wang and co‐workers in article number 1701008 . The peapod‐like structure exhibits increased exposure of active sites and improved charge and mass transport capability in electrolysis. The optimized composition Co(S 0.71 Se 0.29 ) 2 ∥Co(S 0.22 Se 0.78 ) 2 demonstrates a durable catalytic activity for overall water splitting.
