Shape‐controlled octahedral gold nanoparticles act as oxygen evolution catalyst by transferring photogenerated high energy holes to the oxygen evolution level, as described by H. W. Jang and co‐workers in article 1600340. Octahedral gold nanoparticles on widebandgap of the semiconductors improve the water‐splitting photoactivities for over‐bandgap photon energies.
