2D transition metal nitrides, especially nitrogen‐rich tungsten nitrides (WxNy, y > x), such as W3N4 and W2N3, have a great potential for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) since the catalytic activity is largely enhanced by the abundant WN bonding. However, the rational synthesis of 2D nitro...
