Primary alcohols are selectively converted into aldehydes by using a Nb 2 O 5 photocatalyst under visible‐light irradiation. A strong interaction between the alcohol and Nb 2 O 5 generates a donor level within the forbidden band of Nb 2 O 5 , which provides a visible‐light‐harvesting ability. Over oxidation of aldehydes into carboxylic acids does not proceed under visible‐light irradiation.
