Hematite (α‐Fe 2 O 3 ) is engineered to improve photoexcited electron–hole pair separation by synthesizing Fe 2 O 3 ‐Cr 2 O 3 superlattices (SLs) with precise atomic control. The different surface terminations exhibited by Fe 2 O 3 and Cr 2 O 3 determine the heterojunction interface structure and result in controllable, noncommutative band offset values. This controllable band alignment is harnessed to generate a built‐in potential as large as 0.8 eV in Fe 2 O 3 ‐Cr 2 O 3 SLs.
