Nature's energy needs are met by systems of renewable resources. Light is used to activate reduction of CO 2 while water is oxidized producing energy storage molecules like carbohydrates. Emulating such systems is a challenge. Here we report a visible light driven hybrid soft‐oxometalate based catalyst system that couples CO 2 reduction with water oxidation with the highest turnover number of over 1780 per mole and turnover frequency of 534 h −1 of catalyst.
