In article number 1806860 , Xixiang Zhang, Husam N. Alshareef, and co‐workers develop a process to derive KNbO 3 ferroelectric crystals from two‐dimensional MXenes with excellent ferroelectric properties. The plate‐like ferroelectric crystals with c ‐axis orientation inherit their morphology thanks to the two‐dimensional nature of the MXene precursor. KNbO 3 is a very interesting material because it exhibits electro‐optic properties, making it useful in waveguide and holography applications.
