“…A similar BPEC system using Cu 2+ /TiO 2 nanoparticles as artificial light harvesters obtained a H 2 production rate of 1.8 mL h À1 (Gurunathan, 2000). In recent years, SQDs were coupled with whole-cell microorganisms for H 2 production, e.g., AglnS 2 /In 2 S 3 heterostructure (Jiang et al, 2018), Cu 2 O modified with reduced graphene oxide (Shen et al, 2020), ZnO and SiC (Liu et al, 2017a), CdS nanoparticles (Wang et al, 2017), as well as the water-soluble light harvesters such as the proflavine/fluorescein/Eosin Y/RuP/Ru(bpy) 3 2+ (Rowe et al, 2017). However, the oxygen intolerance of hydrogenases limits the use of whole-cell microorganisms for practical H 2 production in BPEC systems.…”

Biophotoelectrochemistry (BPEC) is an interdisciplinary research field and combines bioelectrochemistry and photoelectrochemistry through the utilization of the catalytic abilities of biomachineries and light harvesters to accomplish the production of energy or chemicals driven by solar energy. The BPEC process may act as a new approach for sustainable green chemistry and waste minimization. This review provides the state-of-the-art introduction of BPEC basics and systems, with a focus on light harvesters and biocatalysts, configurations, photoelectron transfer mechanisms, and the potential applications in energy and environment. Several examples of BPEC applications are discussed including H 2 production, CO 2 reduction, chemical synthesis, pollution control, and biogeochemical cycle of elements. The challenges about BPEC systems are identified and potential solutions are proposed. The review aims to encourage further research of BPEC toward development of practical BPEC systems for energy and environmental applications.

“…Compared with alone strain A7, the hydrogen production effect increased by 18.6% with the addition of SiC NPs. 119 Graphitic carbonitrides have attracted extensive attention in the fields of solar energy conversion and environmental remediation on account of their attractive electronic band structures, high physicochemical stability, and "earth-abundant" properties, thus becoming a new research hotspot. 125 Attia et al used laser photoactivated g-C 3 N 4 NPs and Ni NPs in rich light media around photosynthetic hydrogen-producing bacteria to promote bacterial photo-fermentation to produce hydrogen, which stimulated bacterial activity during anaerobic digestion of substrates (food waste), thereby enhancing the tolerance of bacteria to unstable light irradiation.…”

The increasingly severe energy crisis has strengthened the determination to develop environmentally friendly energy. And hydrogen has emerged as a candidate for clean energy. Among many hydrogen generation methods, biohydrogen stands out due to its environmental sustainability, simple operating environment, and cost advantages. This review focuses on the rational design of catalysts for fermentative hydrogen production. The principles of microbial dark fermentation and photo‐fermentation are elucidated exhaustively. Various strategies to increase the efficiency of fermentative hydrogen production are summarized, and some recent representative works from microbial dark fermentation and photo‐fermentation are described. Meanwhile, perspectives and discussions on the rational design of catalysts for fermentative hydrogen production are provided.
