Revved‐up rust! Light‐induced water splitting over iron oxide (hematite) has been achieved by using a particle‐assisted deposition technique and IrO 2 ‐based surface catalysis. Photocurrents in excess of 3 mA cm −2 were obtained at +1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode under AM 1.5 G 100 mW cm −2 simulated sunlight. These photocurrents are unmatched by any other oxide‐based photoanode. FTO=fluorine‐doped tin oxide.
