A homologous nickel‐cobalt‐based nanowire water splitting system with oxygen and hydrogen production from the electrode surface is reported by Gengfeng Zheng and co‐workers in article number 1402031. Spinel‐type NiCo 2 O 4 nanowires grown on a conductive sub‐strate function as an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalyst. Subsequent sulfurization forms pyrite‐type Ni 0.33 Co 0.67 S 2 nanowires that exhibit hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity.
