In article number 2101195 Chao Shen, Ben Zhong Tang, Ruquan Ye, and co‐workers report a hydrophobic laser‐induced graphene (HLIG) that enables effective inactivation of coronavirus in mild conditions from the synergy of photothermal effect and hydrophobicity. The non‐metal HLIG achieves a 97.5% and 95% virucidal efficacy for HCoV‐OC43 and HCoV‐229E in 15 min under low‐grade energy usage. Additionally, the low cytotoxicity and high stability of HLIG further make it a powerful material for disinfection.
