In article number 1900775 , Chenliang Su, Dieqing Zhang, Wei Chen, Hexing Li and co‐workers develop a microwave‐induced metal dissolution strategy for synthesizing copper nanowires/ZnS (CuNWs/ZnS) hybrids with a core‐shell structure. The super‐hot surfaces of CuNWs induced by the microwaves ensure the localized crystallization of ZnS which is doped with dissolved Cu + . The hybrids possess strong interfacial coupling and demonstrate a highest H 2 evolution rate of 10 722 μmol h −1 g −1 among noble‐metal free visible‐light‐driven photocatalysts.
