Phase‐pure and nearly monodispersed LiNbO 3 nanocrystals are obtained by a nonaqueous sol–gel process, in which the reaction degrees of the precursors [LiNO 3 and Nb(OEt) 5 ] are precisely controlled to match each other. The concentration of hydrogen‐related defects affects the H 2 evolution activities of the LiNbO 3 nanocrystals.
