In article number 1501241, Tierui Zhang and co‐workers report that Cd nanosheets acting as a novel conductive support have been successfully developed to promote the photocatalytic H 2 evolution of CdS nanoparticles grown in‐situ in nanosheets. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity is mainly attributed to the much higher electrical conductivity and optical reflectivity of Cd nanosheets compared to conventional conductive supports like carbon nanotubes or reduced graphene oxide.
