More importantly, the O₂ evolution from the water oxidation reaction has been impeded by the classic bottleneck, the photon-flux-density problem of sunlight that could be attributed to rarefied solar radiation for a long time. Herein, we reported synthesis of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based cyclic trinuclear silver complexes (Ag-CTC), and they exhibited strong visible-light absorption ability, a suitable energy bandgap, excellent photochemical properties and efficiChemical sciencehttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11333952biostudies-literatureA cyclic trinuclear silver complex for photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide.PMC113339522173100220220102003822150004223710912197510492261205Xia RQLiu ZNTang YYLi DWei RJLuo XWu TNing GHfalseA cyclic trinuclear silver complex for photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide.The development of metal complexes for photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) from pure water and oxygen using solar energy, especially in the absence of any additives (<i>e.g.</i>, acid, co-catalysts, and sacrificial agents), is a worthwhile pursuit, yet still remains highly challenging.
