Layered 2H‐WS 2 nanosheets show high edge selectivity of in situ electrochemical Pt deposition in acidic solution. In article number 1704779 , Xianfu Wang, Chenglin Yan, and co‐workers theoretically elucidate and experimentally verify the edge selectivity. The terminated S 2 2− or S 2− ligands on the edge of the WS 2 nanosheets exhibit much lower binding energy with the Pt atom than the apical S 2− ligands on the terrace surface.
