In article number 1801690 , Lei Fu and co‐workers present a new catalyst; nanometric Ni 5 P 4 clusters nested on NiCo 2 O 4 nanoflakes. Due to the small energy barrier of water dissociation on NiCo 2 O 4 and the low hydrogen adsorption free energy of Ni 5 P 4 , the as‐demonstrated nanocomposite exhibits superior catalytic activity for alkaline water electrolysis, which outperforms many other non‐noble electrocatalysts.
