The Cover Feature shows the superb catalytic activity of phosphorus doped MoS 2 for electrochemical hydrogen generation. In their Full Paper, L. Bian, W. Gao et al. report a low temperature gas‐phase phosphidation process to achieve the controllable doping of phosphorus into MoS 2 nanosheets supported on carbon cloth with the preservation of the morphology and crystal structure. By optimizing the phosphorus dopant content, the catalytic activity of the MoS 2 nanosheet electrocatalysts is significantly improved, showing lower overpotential and Tafel slope as compared with undoped nanosheets. The excellent activity and stability make the optimal phosphorus doped MoS 2 nanosheets good electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. More information can be found in the Full Paper by L. Bian, W. Gao et al. on page 1571 in Issue 7, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701680).
