Ternary phosphide (NiCo 2 P x ) nanowire arrays are fabricated as effective 3D electrodes for the hydrogen evolution reaction featuring a novel pH‐universal performance, benefiting from the synergistic effect of the bimetallic sites, as described in article number 1605502 by Xiangnan Sun, Xiangke Wang, Wenping Hu, and co‐workers. The microstructure and high‐activity are well preserved after 5000 continuous potential cycles and more than 30 h electrolysis, demonstrating its potential application in water splitting without the use of noble metals.
