In article number 1902170, Hong Wang, Geoffrey A. Ozin, and co‐workers present a hetero‐nanostructure, oxygen vacancy, electronic band alignment and carrier lifetime engineering strategy of In 2 O 3− x (OH) y @Nb 2 O 5 , enabling the solar‐powered, reverse water gas shift reaction to operate at a 44‐fold higher conversion rate than pristine In 2 O 3− x (OH) y , with high selectivity and long‐term operational stability, an advance that augers well for the metal oxide hetero‐nanostructure engineering approach to the industrialization of gas‐phase CO 2 photocatalysis.
