The study demonstrates the storage of solar energy using a redox-active copolymer. By change of pH-value and addition of a catalyst, the stored energy in form of electrons can be reversibly utilized for hydrogen production. This innovative approach opens new possibilities for renewable energy storage toward a sustainable society.
