Tiny frames : The selective cation‐exchange of unpurified ZnSe–diethylenetriamine (DETA) hybrid nanosheets with cadmium ions, followed by the dissolution of DETA and subsequent Ostwald ripening, leads to hollow Cd x Zn 1− x Se nanoframes with tunable compositions (see scheme). These nanoframes are highly active in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water‐splitting.
