The Front Cover shows that cobalt‐doped metallic vanadium disulfide nanosheets exhibit excellent catalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction of seawater electrolysis. In their Full Paper, M. Zhao, M. Yang et al. experimentally derived that the doping of cobalt atoms makes vanadium disulfide nanosheets matrix possess numerous exposed active edges and optimized electronic structure. The synergistic effect of active edges and electronic structure of the modified catalyst increases the number of active sites and enhances their intrinsic activity. Therefore, the modified catalyst displays strengthened hydrogen evolution catalytic activity for seawater electrolysis and even shows outstanding long‐term stability during electrolysis.More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Zhao, M. Yang et al..
