ABSTRACT
Solar-driven biocatalysis technologies can combine inorganic photocatalytic materials with biological catalysts to convert CO2, light, and water into chemicals, offering the promise of high energy efficiency and a broader product scope than that of natural photosynthesis. Solar energy is the most abundant renewable energy source on earth, but it cannot be directly utilized by current industrial microorganisms. Therefore, the establishment of a solar-driven bio-catalysis platform, a bridge between solar energy and heterotrophic microorganisms, can dramatically increase carbon flux in biomanufacturing systems and consequently may revolutionize the biorefinery. This review first discusses the main applications of microbe-photocatalyst hybrid (MPH) systems in biorefinery processes. Then, various strategies to improve the electron transfer by microorganisms at the inorganic photocatalytic material interface are discussed, especially biohybrid systems based on autotrophic or heterotrophic bacteria and photocatalytic materials. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and offer potential solutions for the development of MPH systems.
