Highly efficient utilization of solar light with an excellent reduction capacity is achieved for plasmonic Fe@C nanostructures. By carbon layer coating, the optimized catalyst exhibits enhanced selectivity and stability applied to the solar‐driven reduction of CO 2 into CO. The surface‐plasmon effect of iron particles is proposed to excite CO 2 molecules, and thereby facilitates the final reaction activity.
