Visible‐ and near‐infrared‐light‐driven water splitting, which splits water molecules to generate hydrogen and oxygen gases, is a significant subject in artificial photosynthesis with the goal of achieving a low‐carbon society. In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to studies on the...
