Solar‐driven syngas production by CO2 reduction provides a sustainable strategy to produce renewable feedstocks. However, this promising reaction often suffers from tough CO2 activation, sluggish oxidative half‐reaction kinetics and undesired by‐products. Herein, we report a function‐oriented strate...
