The Cover Feature shows CoP nanoparticles anchored on the surface of black phosphorus (BP) nanosheets for photocatalytic H 2 production. In their Communication, Q. Liang et al. demonstrate that the in situ growth of CoP nanoparticles on black phosphorus nanosheets gives rise to excellent interfacial contact between the light‐harvesting material and co‐catalysts, promotes fast charge transfer and reduces charge recombination. Anchoring of the CoP nanoparticles to the surface of BP nanosheets suppresses their agglomeration, thus effectively maintaining the high surface area and large number of active sites. More information can be found in the Communication by Q. Liang et al. on page 2179 in Issue 10, 2018 (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.201701907).
