Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important chemical in synthetic chemistry with huge demands. Photocatalytic synthesis of H2O2 via oxygen reduction and water oxidation reactions (ORR and WOR) is considered as a promising and desirable solution for on‐site applications. However, the efficiency of such a process is low due to the poor solubility of molecular oxygen and the rapid reverse reaction of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) with hydrogen atoms (H). Here, a strategy is proposed to boost the H2O2 evolution via oxidation of water by employing a H acceptor (A, nitrocyclohexane), an •OH mediator (M, dioxane), and a photocatalyst (CdS nanosheets). While •OH radicals are stabilized by dioxane to produce ketyl radicals prior to the formation of H2O2, H atoms are effectively utilized in the generation of cyclohexanone oxime, an important intermediate in the production of Nylon 6. The system displays a rapid kinetic accumulation of H2O2 (0.13 min−1) to a high concentration (6.6 mM). At optimum reaction conditions, a high quantum efficiency (16.6%) and light‐to‐chemical conversion efficiency (4.9%) can be achieved under 410 nm irradiation. Photocatalytic partial water oxidation promoted by a hydrogen acceptor (A) and a hydroxyl mediator (M) couple on CdS nanosheets. While the photogenerated •OH radicals can be stabilized by M to produce ketyl radicals prior to the formation of H2O2, H atoms are transferred to A. This strategy enables a rapid evolution of H2O2 with a high quantum efficiency (16.6%) under visible light irradiation.
