Osmium-Enhanced Photocatalysts for Efficient Solar-to-Hydrogen Energy Conversion

Caption

Researchers designed novel osmium-based photocatalysts. These osmium metal complexes absorb a broader range of sunlight and undergo singlet–triplet excitation, enabling efficient use of lower-energy wavelengths for enhanced hydrogen evolution.
