In article number 1900048 , Shuilin Wu and co‐workers develop a red phosphorus (RP)/ZnO heterojunction to harvest solar or LED light for rapid, effective, eco‐friendly, low‐cost, and safe disinfection by its photocatalysis and photothermal effects. The most stable geometrical structure of the RP/ZnO heterojunction exhibits charge redistribution largely at the interface region. Light‐activated ultrafast bacterial inactivation can be attributed to the synergetic reactive oxygen species and heat by the RP/ZnO heterojunction.
