The utilization of low‐energy sunlight to produce renewable fuels is a subject of great interest. Here we report the first example of metal chalcogenide quantum dots (QDs) capped with a pyridinethiolate carboxylic acid (pyS‐COOH) for red‐light‐driven H2 production in water. The precious‐metal‐free s...
