In article number 1500345, G. Zhao, A. Vomiero, F. Rosei, and co‐workers develop a new hybrid photoelectrochemical photoanode to generate H 2 from water, composed of a TiO 2 mesoporous frame functionalized by colloidal core@shell quantum dots (QDs) followed by CdS and ZnS capping layers. Saturated photocurrent density as high as 11.2 mA cm −2 is obtained in a solar‐cell‐driven PEC system using near infrared QDs.
