Among the many potential photocatalysts, BiVO 4 has emerged as a highly promising photoanode material for solar energy conversion and renewable hydrogen production. In article number 1806938 , Jae Sung Lee and Jin Hyun Kim summarize recent developments of BiVO 4 photoanodes, including synthesis of nanostructures/nanopores, external/internal doping, heterojunction fabrication, surface passivation, and cocatalysts. They also discuss tandem systems for unassisted solar water splitting and photoelectrochemical production of value‐added chemicals.
