Fabrication of hybrid photoelectrodes on a subsecond timescale with low energy consumption remains a challenge. Here, the authors report a modular approach, laser-driven transfer synthesis, to build a library of structurally defined transition metal oxide composite films, enabling the creation of materials for diverse applications.
