Significance It’s of great interest to replace the benchmark noble-metal photosensitizers (PSs) with those based on earth-abundant and low-cost metals for achieving large-scale implementation of solar energy. However, the short-lived excited state and poor visible-light absorption of current nonprecious metal-based complexes severely limit their practical applications. Here, we report cuprous PS with long excited-state lifetime and BSVLA ability for dramatically boosting photosynthesis. Owing to its earth-abundant nature, extremely high activity, and universal design concept, this type of strong sensitizing cuprous PSs exhibited a bright future for large-scale solar energy utilization.
