Abstract

Abstract : Rich Ti vacancies in TiO2 nanofibers are presented in the Full Paper by X.‐Y. Yang and co‐workers (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202101817 ). The unidirectional electron trap and directional H + adsorption ability of Ti vacancies enable efficient charge transfer and resistance to the corrosion of seawater. They thus contribute excellent activity and long‐time stability to photodriven seawater splitting, opening a door to marine applications of semiconductors.
