Here today, GaN tomorrow: Charge‐transfer pathways on GaN photoelectrodes that were decorated with Pt nanoparticles have been investigated. The surface loading of Pt was found to suppress the surface‐state‐mediated charge transfer and to enhance the stability of the GaN surface in aqueous electrolyte.
