Nanomaterial-microorganism hybrid systems (NMHSs), integrating semiconductor nanomaterials with microorganisms, present a promising platform for broadband solar energy harvesting, high-efficiency carbon reduction, and sustainable chemical production. While studies underscore its potential in diverse solar-to-chemical energy conversions, prevailing NMHSs grapple with suboptimal energy conversion efficiency. Such limitations stem predominantly from an insufficient systematic exploration of the mechanisms dictating solar energy flow. This review provides a systematic overview of the notable advancements in this nascent field, with a particular focus on the discussion of three pivotal steps of energy flow: solar energy capture, cross-membrane energy transport, and energy conversion into chemicals. While key challenges faced in each stage are independently identified and discussed, viable solutions are correspondingly postulated. In view of the interplay of the three steps in affecting the overall efficiency of solar-to-chemical energy conversion, subsequent discussions thus take an integrative and systematic viewpoint to comprehend, analyze and improve the solar energy flow in the current NMHSs of different configurations, and highlighting the contemporary techniques that can be employed to investigate various aspects of energy flow within NMHSs. Finally, a concluding section summarizes opportunities for future research, providing a roadmap for the continued development and optimization of NMHSs.

重新审视纳米材料-微生物混合系统中的太阳能流



纳米材料-微生物混合系统(NMHS)将半导体纳米材料与微生物相结合,为宽带太阳能收集、高效碳减排和可持续化学生产提供了一个有前途的平台。虽然研究强调了其在各种太阳能到化学能转换中的潜力,但目前的 NMHS 仍在努力解决能量转换效率不佳的问题。这种限制主要源于对决定太阳能流的机制的系统探索不足。这篇综述系统地概述了这一新兴领域的显着进展,特别重点讨论了能量流的三个关键步骤:太阳能捕获、跨膜能量传输和能量转化为化学品。虽然每个阶段面临的关键挑战都是独立确定和讨论的,但也相应地提出了可行的解决方案。鉴于影响太阳能到化学能转换整体效率的三个步骤的相互作用,后续的讨论因此以综合和系统的角度来理解、分析和改进现有不同配置的NMHS中的太阳能流,并强调可用于研究 NMHS 内能量流各个方面的当代技术。最后,结论部分总结了未来研究的机会,为 NMHS 的持续发展和优化提供了路线图。
