Abstract
Hydrogen Evolution In article number 2401131, Manohar Chirumamilla, Tamilarasan Palanisamy, M. Motapothula, Eswaraiah Varrla, Srabanti Ghosh, Amarnath R. Allu, and co‐workers showcased the photocatalytic activity of firmly embedded hybrid gold nano‐islands (HGNIs) on the surface of a custom‐developed H‐glass. The presence of various Au oxidation states and multiple interfaces enhances the photocatalytic activity of HGNIs. A significant solar‐to‐hydrogen conversion efficiency of 0.6% is achieved through the photocatalytic process using visible light and water, without the need for any sacrificial agents.
