Small mesopores are more efficient : A mesoprous oxide semiconductor (tungsten trioxide) having small mesopores was crystallized at high temperature (550 °C) by a simple one‐step procedure. The highly crystalline mesoporous WO 3 has an extremely high surface area which improves the visible‐light‐driven photoelectrochemical performance of water oxidation (see picture) relative to WO 3 having interparticle mesopores.
