Abstract Dye‐sensitized photosynthesis : Eosin Y (EY), a dye photosensitizer, works efficiently as a molecular photoelectrode by catalyzing the visible‐light‐driven electron‐transfer reaction for efficient regeneration of NADH through a photosensitizer–electron relay dyad. Injection of the photosensitized electron resulted in highly accelerated regeneration of NADH, which can be used by glutamate dehydrogenase for the photosynthesis of L ‐glutamate.
