Catalysts with coordinatively unsaturated Zn d+ ( d < 2) centers have recently attracted attention for the photocatalytic dehydrogenation of methane. On page 7824, T. Zhang and co‐workers report that Zn + –Vo complexes are introduced by synthesizing ultrathin ZnAl‐layer double hydroxide nanosheets, which exhibit extraordinarily high activity for the photoreduction of CO 2 to CO with water.
