H. Li, P. Falcaro, and coworkers describe on page 4815 the development of a new photodynamic Metal‐Organic Framework (MOF) composite that exhibits up to 90.5% of CO 2 desorption capacity under the irradiation of naturally abundant visible light. Their discovery is promising for the application of MOFs in carbon capture as a route to low‐energy regeneration of gas adsorbents.
