In article number 1800052 , Thalappil Pradeep and co‐workers introduce an easy, ambient method for creating nanopores in single‐layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) nanosheets (NSs) by electrospray deposition (ESD) of silver ions on a water suspension of the former. The technique using holey MoS 2 NSs exhibits up to 10 5 times higher water disinfection efficiency compared to normal MoS 2 NSs.
