WS 2 nanoflakes with monolayer thickness and abundant edges were synthesized through a high‐temperature solution‐phase method that is described by Z. Liu, Y. G. Li et al. in their Communication on page 7860 ff. These nanoflakes exhibited impressive activity and durability in electrocatalytic hydrogen‐evolution reactions in acids and thus represent an attractive low‐cost alternative to the precious platinum benchmark catalyst.
