Abstract Photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells are regarded as a promising approach to convert sunlight chemical fuels, whereas the serious photo‐induced charge recombination of semiconductor photoelectrode hinders its solar conversion efficiency. Over past few decades, designing and constructing heterojunction photoelectrodes via thermodynamically favorable transfer have been proven be effective in boosting separation. However, conventional construction strategy generally introduces incompatible, nonconformal, or defective interfaces, leaving considerable room improve efficiency photoelectrodes. To compensate for unsatisfied efficiency, some novel strategies, such grain boundary engineering, band gap field‐effected etc., adopted provide additional driving force, which significantly improves In this review, these strategies discussed beyond construction, prospects development applications photoanodes also proposed.

Abstract The photoelectrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia (PEC NO 3 RR) has emerged as a promising pathway for facilitating the natural nitrogen cycle. PEC RR can lower potential needed synthesis through photogenerated voltage, showcasing significant merging abundant solar energy with sustainable fixation. However, it is influenced by selective photocathodes poor carrier kinetics, low catalytic selectivity, and yields. There are few reports on suitable photoelectrodes owning efficient charge transport at overpotentials. Herein, we rationally constructed CuSn alloy co‐catalysts antimony sulfides highly an ultra‐low onset (0.62 V RHE ). CuSn/TiO 2 /Sb S achieved faradic efficiency 97.82 % applied 0.4 , yield 16.96 μmol h −1 cm −2 0 under one sun illumination. Dynamics experiments theoretical calculations have demonstrated that enhanced separation transfer efficiency, electrons participate in quickly. Meanwhile, moderate * adsorption this photocathode optimizes activity increases NH 4 + yield. This work opens avenue designing sulfide‐based route solar‐to‐ammonia conversion.
