The design and synthesis of an efficient and robust water‐oxidation catalyst with inexpensive materials remains an important challenge in the context of artificial photosynthesis. Herein, a simple but unique technique is reported to in situ generate a thin‐film of α‐Co(OH)2 on the surface of zeolite...
