Photocatalysis, which is the mimicry of the natural photosynthesis, is a game‐changing breakthrough for the conversion of solar energy to chemical fuels. As presented by Wee‐Jun Ong and co‐workers in article number 1700251 , precious‐metal‐free 1D Co 2 P nanorods are hybridized with 2D g‐C 3 N 4 to form intact 1D/2D heterointerfaces for H 2 evolution without Pt as noble‐metal co‐catalysts. By tailoring 1D and 2D nanohybrids, this leads to unprecedented properties toward remarkable enhancement of solar H 2 production technology.
