Light, polymer, action : A set of water‐soluble poly(acrylic acid) catalysts PAA‐ g ‐Fe 2 S 2 containing {Fe 2 S 2 }, an [FeFe]‐hydrogenase active‐site mimic, is synthesized. This system, combined with CdSe quantum dots and ascorbic acid, has an exceptional turnover number and initial turnover frequency (27 135 and 3.6 s −1 ) for the photocatalytic production of H 2 in water, which is the highest efficiency to date for [FeFe]‐hydrogenase mimics.
