Using economical urea and red phosphorus as the only raw materials, a low‐cost black phosphorus/graphitic carbon nitride (BP/CN) heterostructure is prepared on a large scale by ball milling in article number 1801321 by Xue‐Feng Yu and co‐workers. The metal‐free heterostructure acts as an efficient and stable photocatalyst for both hydrogen evolution and dye degradation.
