Our approach involves the use of a Fe(CN)5 bridging group not only as a cyanide precursor for the formation of a PB‐type structure but also as an electron shuttle between an organic chromophore and the catalytic center. The resulting hetero‐functional PB‐modified TiO2 electrode demonstrates a low‐cost and easy‐to‐construct photoanode, which exhibits favorable electron transfers with a remarkable excited state lifetime on the order of nanoseconds and an extended light absorption capacity of up to 500 nm. Our approach paves the way for a new family of precious metal‐free robust dye‐sensitized photoelectrodes for water oxidation, in which a variety of common organic chromophores can be employed in conjunction with CoFe PB structures.EnglishDye-sensitizationPhotoelectrochemistryPrussian blueWater oxidationWater splittingA robust, precious‐metal‐free dye‐sensitized photoanode for water oxidation: A nanosecond‐long excited‐state lifetime through a Prussian blue analogueArticle10.1002/anie.201914743
