Abstract
Robust Reduction
A major challenge in the design of artificial photosynthesis catalysts has been their instability under the reaction conditions—a problem that plants and other autotrophs address by perpetually reproducing their biochemical machinery.

, published online 8 November) now demonstrate a system for photoreductive hydrogen generation in water that manifests undiminished activity for weeks at a time. Semiconductor nanoparticles for light absorption were combined with a soluble nickel complex for the catalytic chemistry. The system currently requires a sacrificial electron donor, but its robustness shows promise for future pairing with an integrated oxidation catalyst.
