Photocatalytic overall water splitting is realized by taking advantage of the semiconductive and porous properties of MIL‐125(Ti). CoPi and Pt are deposited into MIL‐125(Ti) in two steps. The co‐catalysts CoPi and Pt not only act as reactive sites for oxygen and hydrogen evolution, respectively, but also improve the photogenerated charge separation efficiency. The above conclusions are supported by the photoelectrical and photophysical results.
