The invention discloses an artificial simulation hydrogenase of an aromatic ether dendritic polymer. The artificial simulation hydrogenase has the following two molecular structures of a molecular structure (I) and a molecular structure (II), wherein X is the aromatic ether dendritic polymer and has a structural formula shown in the description, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are carbonyl, isocyano, triphenylphosphino, trimethylphosphino, triethylphosphino, tributylphosphino or tripyzzolephosphino. Compared with natural hydrogenase, the artificial simulation hydrogenase of the aromatic ether dendritic polymer disclosed by the invention has good stability and is convenient to store; the artificial simulation hydrogenase is firstly used as a proton reduction catalyst for hydrogen production by water decomposed under catalysis of visible light; during hydrogen production, the catalyst has a stable property and a rather high hydrogen production catalytic activity; so far, the artificial simulation hydrogenase is an artificially synthesized artificial simulation hydrogenase with a highest catalytic activity.
