Graphical Abstract
Holes in holes: By using a modified colloidal crystal templating method, periodically ordered macroporous architectures with controllable dual porosity are fabricated (see picture). Taking BiVO4 as an example, these unique structures provide a platform for a better understanding of the correlation between material geometrical features and charge migration for the photoelectrochemical water splitting process.
