In harmony : Nanoparticles of Mn 3 O 4 and core/shell‐structured Rh/Cr 2 O 3 as cocatalysts on the surface of a solid solution of GaN and ZnO as catalyst promote O 2 and H 2 evolution, respectively, under visible light ( λ >420 nm), thereby achieving enhanced water‐splitting activity compared to analogues modified with either Mn 3 O 4 or Rh/Cr 2 O 3 .
