Black phosphorus (BP) is developed as a highly efficient metal‐free photoelectrochemical (PEC) ammonia synthesis catalyst for the first time. In article number 2002731, Jiahong Wang, Xue‐Feng Yu, and co‐workers report an ammonia yield rate as high as 102.4 μg h −1 mg cat· −1 . The excellent catalytic properties identify a promising technique to produce ammonia under ambient conditions using solar energy and electric energy.
