In article number 1900179 Jooho Moon and co‐workers demonstrate that fullerene introduced at the Pt/TiO 2 interface of a TiO 2 ‐protected Sb 2 Se 3 photocathode, acts as a photoelectron transfer promoter, and dramatically enhances the long‐term stability of the photocathode. Facile photoelectron transfer out of the TiO 2 layer effectively suppresses the severe accumulated electron‐induced photoreductive dissolution of the TiO 2 protection layer.
