Photosynthetic biohybrid systems (PBSs) combine the strengths of inorganic materials and biological catalysts by exploiting semiconductor broadband light absorption to capture solar energy and subsequently transform it into valuable CO-derived chemicals by taking advantage of the metabolic pathways in living organisms. In this work, we first traverse through a brief history of recent PBSs, demonstrating the modularity and diversity of possible architectures to rival and, in many cases, surpass the performance of chemistry or biology alone before envisioning the future of these hybrid systems, opportunities for improvement, and its role in sustainable living here on earth and beyond.
光合生物杂化系统（PBSs）通过利用半导体宽带光吸收来捕获太阳能，并利用生物体中的代谢途径将其转化为有价值的 CO 衍生化学品，从而将无机材料和生物催化剂的优势结合在一起。在这项工作中，我们首先简要回顾了 PBSs 的近期发展历史，展示了可能的架构的模块化和多样性，这些架构可以与化学或生物学的性能相媲美，在许多情况下甚至超越了它们，然后展望了这些杂化系统的未来、改进的机会及其在地球内外可持续生活中的作用。
