A visible light‐driven system for CO 2 ‐to‐CO conversion, which consists of a heterogeneous hybrid catalyst of Co and Co 2 P nanoparticles embedded in carbon nanolayers codoped with N and P (Co‐Co 2 P@NPC) and a homogeneous Ru II ‐based complex photosensitizer, was established. It was shown that the exceptional catalytic activity in CO 2 photoreduction was due to the nanoparticle size, the partially adsorbed H 2 O molecules on the catalyst surface, and the hybrid nature of the systems.
