2D/2D van der Waals Heterostructures In article number 2100296, Shi‐Zhang Qiao and co‐workers present a ReS 2 /In 2 ZnS 4 2D/2D van der Waals hetero‐junction (vdWH) that exhibits a highly‐promoted visible‐light photocatalytic H 2 ‐production rate of 2515 mmol h −1 g −1 . This is 2266% times that for In 2 ZnS 4 . The outstanding performance is attributed to efficient interfacial electron‐hole dissociation/transportation, and substantial atomic‐level S active sites on ReS 2 . Results will be of immediate benefit in the rational design/synthesis of vdWHs for solar hydrogen generation.
