A further step on the road to utilization of solar energy by cleavage of water is made possible by a new catalyst which promotes both H 2 ‐and O 2 ‐formation in the (known) Ru(bpy) /methylviologen system. The catalyst consists of RuO 2 (0.1%) in (Nb‐doped) n‐TiO 2 charged with finely divided Pt. The rate of generation of H 2 remains constant even after irradiation for 4 d with visible light.
