Hematite (α‐Fe2O3) is a promising material for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the poor conductivity and short hole diffusion length have limited its energy conversion efficiency. Nanorod structure could improve the transport of charge carriers and increase the reaction sites. H...
