Modulation of broadband light trapping through assembly of 3D structures and modification with narrow band‐gap semiconductors provide an effective way to improve the photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance. Here, 3D‐branched ZnO nanowire arrays (NWAs) modified with cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles...
