Hydrogen Storage Microporous materials simultaneously constructed by boron (B), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) were prepared and confirmed to show ultra‐narrow, tunable pore widths and different behavior in terms of H 2 storage. In their Communication on page 2936 ff. (highlighted on the Inside Cover), Qunhong Weng, Dmitri Golberg et al. report that the BCNO porous materials synthesized by a simple one‐step reaction exhibit similar belt‐like morphologies, chemical compositions, phase ordering, specific surface areas (1040–1070 m 2 g −1 ), and pore volumes. However, the differences in the pore widths (0.4–1.1 nm) and surface chemical environments lead to the distinct H 2 sorption behaviors of these materials.
