Abstract

The production of hydrogen from water by solely using sunlight as energy input has long been pursued as a sustainable fuel source. In article number 1803286, Hiroyuki Nishide, Bjorn Winther-Jensen, and co-workers demonstrate a thiophene-based conjugated polymer as a combined light harvester and catalyst for water reduction to hydrogen. The high photovoltage obtained facilitates water oxidation on an MnOx anode and thereby complete light-driven water-splitting.
