Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in the solution‐phase synthesis of atomically precise thiolate‐protected gold clusters (Aux); nonetheless, research on the photocatalytic properties of Aux–semiconductor nanocomposites is still in its infancy. In this work, recently developed glutathio...
