In article number 1804930 , Xiaobin Hu and co‐workers demonstrate a two‐layer ferroelectric heterojunction, in which BiFeO 3 acts as the 3D macroporous skeleton and LiNbO 3 as the passivation layer. This photoanode exhibits a tremendous enhancement of photocurrent density in a HCO 3 ‐/CO 2 system. Photoelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggests that the synergistic effect of the skeleton and passivation layer promote the charge transfer by tuning surface states. This work provides a strategy for enhancing photoelectrochemical water oxidation as the anodic reaction of CO 2 reduction.
