A hetero‐nanostructured photoanode with enhanced near‐infrared light harvesting is developed for photo‐electrochemical cells. By spatially coating upconversion nanoparticles and quantum dot photosensitizers onto TiO 2 inverse opal, this architecture allows direct irradiation of upconversion nanoparticles to emit visible light that excites quantum dots for charge separation. Electrons are injected into TiO 2 with minimal carrier losses due to continuous electron conducting interface.
