Photo‐electrochemical (PEC) oxygen evolution is the bottleneck of PEC hydrogen production, for which a cocatalyst is critical to enhance the efficiency. In article 1801505 , Lun Pan, Ji‐Jun Zou, and co‐workers review the recent advances of cocatalyst design and fabrication for PEC oxygen evolution, analyze their roles and work mechanism comprehensively, and provide guidance for exploring more efficient cocatalysts.
