A new class of highly efficient oxygen evolution catalysts has been synthesized through the self‐assembly of graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets and carbon nanotubes, driven by π–π stacking and electrostatic interactions. Remarkably, the catalysts exhibit higher catalytic oxygen evolution activity a...
