Go with the CO : The functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes with molecular complexes through π–π stacking produces robust, noble‐metal‐free electrocatalytic nanomaterials for H 2 evolution and uptake. The catalysts are compatible with the conditions encountered in classical proton‐exchange membrane devices and are tolerant of the common pollutant CO, thus offering significant advantages over traditional Pt‐based catalysts.
