In article number 2003077, Kouki Oka, Hiroyuki Nishide, and Bjorn Winther‐Jensen demonstrate that metal‐free copolymer of phenylene and thiophene works as a visible‐light‐harvester and highly selective and robust catalyst for the oxygen reduction to H 2 O 2 . A visible‐light‐illuminated polymer layer in combination with a MnOx catalyst exhibits the steady and rapid H2O2 production without bias voltage.
