Peel it and see: 2D‐layered manganese chalcogenophosphites, MnP X 3 ( X = S, Se), are synthetized and submitted to shear force exfoliation. The process, described by Martin Pumera and co‐workers in article number 1805975 , causes MP X 3 to undergo downsizing, alongside with delamination. Layered exfoliated MnPSe 3 has the lowest onset potential for the hydrogen evolution reaction and good stability. Such exfoliated MnP X 3 shows great promise in a future hydrogen‐based economy.
