Two‐electron water oxidation initiated by one‐electron oxidation of aluminum porphyrins (AlTMPyP) is an alternative water oxidation to the conventional four‐electron pathway and could help to avoid the bottleneck subject of photon‐flux density in artificial photosynthesis. Here, a dramatic enhanceme...
