The production of fuels from sunlight is crucial to the development of a sustainable energy system. Although noble metals are efficient catalysts for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution, earth-abundant alternatives are needed for large-scale use. Bioinspired molecular clusters based on molybdenum and sulphur are now shown to produce hydrogen at rates comparable to platinum.
