The quantum‐dot sensitization of a commercial TiO 2 photoelectrode with maximized light harvesting capacity leads to the realization of hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation. On page 2325, J.‐H. Jang and team demonstrate the greatly improved performance of an electrode with light‐harvesting capability, suggesting the proposed route as an effective strategy for electrode materials in photoconversion systems.
