Direct fixation of N 2 at room temperature by photocatalysis is an intriguing strategy for sustainable production of NH 3 . In article number 1902319, Xusheng Zheng, Shuquan Liang, Liangbing Wang, and co‐workers report that grain boundaries (GBs) in nanoporous WO 3 induce many operando oxygen vacancies under light irradiation. WO 3 with GBs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and remarkable stability for photofixation of N 2 .
