Hydrogen Evolution. In their Communication on page 10751 ff., T. Asefa, W. Chen, X. Zou, et al. report an efficient hybrid hydrogen‐evolution electrocatalyst consisting of molybdenum carbide nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen‐rich carbon nanolayers. The synergistic effect between Mo 2 C and N dopants co‐activates adjacent C atoms on the carbon nanolayers.
