, maintaining excellent performance in the visible-infrared region. By combining femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, in situ XPS, in situ EPR, and DFT calculations, this study reveals the core role of transient active interfaces in promoting charge separation, lowering reaction energy barriers, and guiding reaction pathways. It not only proposes a highly efficient photothermal catalytic material design strategy based on a "self-evolution" mechanism but also provides a practical pathway for extraterrestrial artificial photosynthesis, marking a crucial step toward practical application.
