science Researchers developed an organelle-mimetic nanoreactor to boost solar hydrogen and pyruvic acid co-production. This system was built by the team in a three-layer architecture using ZIF-67, CoS, and CdS. The catalyst showed high efficiency, achieving apparent quantum efficiencies of 74.2% at 400 nm and 78.5% at 420 nm. This biomimetic design successfully directs charge transport while converting lactic acid under solar irradiation. Future work will focus on scaling this artificial photosynthesis technology outdoors. 🧪
