Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The front cover image shows how a noble‐metal‐free photocatalyst can contribute to a sustainable Earth through photocatalytic water splitting. Noble metals are widely applied in many photocatalysts, which may limit the potential of these catalysts for large‐scale applications. Hong et al. used NiS as co‐catalyst on metal‐free carbon nitride (C₃N₄) to construct a noble‐metal‐free photocatalytic system for efficient H₂ production under visible light. Even small amounts of NiS can significantly enhance the H₂ generation rate in comparison to the native C₃N₄, resulting in a high quantum efficiency. Details of the method and important parameters can be found in Hong et al.′s Full Paper on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 2263 ff.</ext-link>, while more information about the research group is available in the Cover Profile on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 2200</ext-link>.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t3sbzm8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
