The energy of sunlight is stored in the chemical bonds of a fuel by an artificial photosynthetic cell that converts sunlight and water to hydrogen fuel and oxygen gas. In article number 1600379, Nathan S. Lewis, Chengxiang Xiang, and co‐workers describe an efficient, integrated, and inherently safe water‐splitting system that incorporates a bipolar membrane to enforce the separation of hydrogen and oxygen while allowing the flow of ionic current.
