Hao Chen, Jinhua Ye and co‐workers develop a self‐assembled 5‐nm‐diameter Bi 5 O 7 Br nanotubes for N 2 fixation in water. They reveal in article number 1701774 that, under visible light irradiation, partial O atoms will escape in the form of O 2 from the surface of ultrafine Bi 5 O 7 Br nanotubes, creating light‐switchable OVs‐rich ultrafine Bi 5 O 7 Br nanotubes, which are responsible for the excellent photocatalytic N 2 fixation activities.
