Holey graphene sheets were achieved through catalytic oxidation of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). A metalloporphyrin‐based covalent organic framework was used to develop a copy‐print process for facile production of holey graphene sheets. Post‐synthetic introduction of hydrogen peroxide/sodium hypochlorite facilitated hole production in HOPG. Subsequent exfoliation yielded holey graphene sheets. This innovative tactic allows for production of holey graphene, sidestepping nanolithography present in other methodologies. For the full story see the Communication by A. Star and colleagues on page 5652 ff.
