The solar‐driven efficient production of H 2 O 2 from H 2 O and O 2 provides a sustainable and green energy source, because H 2 O 2 is used directly in one‐compartment membrane‐free H 2 O 2 fuel cells. The solar‐driven production of H 2 O 2 from H 2 O and O 2 may also be combined with a number of green catalytic oxidation reactions in which substrates are oxidized using O 2 as the greenest oxidant.
