Black phosphorus with a few‐layer nanosheet structure as an efficient nonmetallic catalyst for electrochemical nitrogen reduction is reported by Liang‐Xin Ding, Haihui Wang, and co‐workers in their Communication on page 2612 ff. This work confirms the feasibility of using a nonmetallic simple substance as a nitrogen‐fixing catalyst and thus opens a new avenue towards the development of more efficient metal‐free catalysts.
