Abstract

Abstract : In article number1701605, Lianzhou Wang and co‐workers report a new type of ultrathin Ta3 N5 nanomesh with high specific surface area and excellent crystallinity by an innovative bottom‐up graphene oxide templated strategy. The resulting Ta3 N5 nanomeshes demonstrate drastically improved electron transport ability and prolonged lifetime of charge carriers, due to the nature of high surface area and excellent crystallinity. As a result, when used as photocatalysts, the Ta3 N5 nanomeshes exhibit a greater than tenfold improvement in solar hydrogen production compared to bulk counterparts.
