A hot electron flow is expected to be a general phenomenon in exothermic chemical reactions at the gas/solid and solid/liquid interface. In their Communication on page 10859 ff., J. Y. Park and co‐workers demonstrate the detection of hot electrons as a chemicurrent generated at the solid/liquid interface during the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed on Schottky nanodiodes, and show that the chemicurrent yield can reach values of up to 1/10 electrons per O 2 molecule.
