The photoelectrochemical (PEC) method has the potential to be an attractive route for converting and storing solar energy as chemical bonds. In this study, a maximum NH3 production yield of 1.01 g L−1 with a solar‐to‐ammonia conversion efficiency of 8.17% through the photovoltaic electrocatalytic (P...
