Abstract

Abstract : The use of nanodiamonds to improve the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction of Cu2 O by nanocomposition is demonstrated for the first time by Guowei Yang and co‐workers in article number 1501865. Compared with pure Cu2 O, this nanocomposite shows a tremendous improvement in performance. It is also established that the broad spectral response and electron injection from nanodiamond to Cu2 O play a dominant role.
