Water oxidation is a key reaction in natural and artificial photosynthesis. In their Research Article on page 5965, Mio Kondo, Shigeyuki Masaoka, and co‐workers report a facile strategy to integrate catalytic centers and hole transporters in one system, which is inspired by the natural water oxidation catalyst. A metal‐complex‐based precursor was electrochemically polymerized, and the obtained polymer‐based material exhibits excellent hole‐transporting ability and catalyzes water oxidation with high performance.
