Optical properties and interface energetics between semiconductor and electrolyte determine sensitively the efficiency of a photoelectrode for solar water splitting. By careful design of the involved interfaces and photon management, a record 15.8% power‐saved efficiency single junction InP‐based photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical water reduction can be obtained, as shown on page 679 by L. Gao, E. P. A. M. Bakkers, E. J. M. Hensen, and co‐workers.
