Biological Hybrid Systems Based on Photocatalysts to Drive the Conversion of CO2 into High-Value Compounds

Artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems possess the remarkable ability not only to convert solar energy into chemical energy but also to store this energy in the form of organic matter. By leveraging this system, we hold the promise of achieving sustainable energy utilization and chemical production. This review comprehensively summarizes artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems consisting of metal sulfides, noble metals, quantum dots, composite photocatalysts, and conjugated polymers of organic semiconductor materials with microorganisms and provides a comprehensive overview of examples of artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems converting CO2 into high-value compounds and a summary of the relevant devices that are currently available. Additionally, the review discusses the challenges and future development trends related to artificial photosynthetic biohybrid systems.
