“…The post-synthesis method, used to protect and control the cell environment, is based on the adsorption of cells on different pre-formed substrates such as polyurethane foams, [55][56][57][58] nylon foams, 59 fiberglass, 60 loofa (Luffa cylindrica) sponges 61,62 and inverted colloidal crystals. 63 Post-formation avoids the need to consider the biocompatibility of the precursors used in materials synthesis as long as the resultant host structure is free from cytotoxins.…”

This critical review highlights the advances that have been made over recent years in the domain of whole-cell immobilisation and encapsulation for applications relating to the environment and human health, particularly focusing on examples of photosynthetic plant cells, bacteria and algae as well as animal cells. Evidence that encapsulated photosynthetic cells remain active in terms of CO(2) sequestration and biotransformation (solar driven conversion of CO(2) into biofuels, drugs, fine chemicals etc.), coupled with the most recent advances made in the field of cell therapy, reveals the need to develop novel devices based on the preservation of living cells within abiotic porous frameworks. This review shall corroborate this statement by selecting precise examples that unambiguously demonstrate the necessity and the benefits of such smart materials. As will be described, the handling and exploitation of photosynthetic cells are enhanced by entrapment or encapsulation since the cells are physically separated from the liquid medium, thereby facilitating the recovery of the metabolites produced. In the case of animal cells, their encapsulation within a matrix is essential in order to create a physical barrier that can protect the cells auto-immune defenders upon implantation into a living body. For these two research axes, the key parameters that have to be kept in mind when designing hybrid materials will be identified, concentrating on essential aspects such as biocompatibility, mechanical strength and controlled porosity (264 references).

“…Moreover, the pore size has complex effects on the activity, stability, and recycling properties of hybrid materials. [97] This approach exploits the natural tendency of many microorganisms, algae, and plant cells to attach to surfaces and grow upon them. [79] Takahashi et al reported that a tight fit inside the pores is also essential to increase stability and sufficiently protect the proteins.…”

“…[92,93] In the case of organelles and whole living cells, immobilization can also be achieved through an adsorption process on different pre-formed substrates such as loofa sponges, [94] fiberglasses, [95] glass discs, [96] and polyurethane foams. [97] This approach exploits the natural tendency of many microorganisms, algae, and plant cells to attach to surfaces and grow upon them. In comparison to proteins, the immobilization of organelles or cells is more delicate.…”

Biofuel cells Based on the Immobilization of Photosynthetically Active Bioentities

Natural photosynthesis is a highly efficient process that uses sunlight irradiation to convert carbon dioxide into value‐added biomass. This review summarizes the recent advances in the transformation of solar energy into electrical power through the exploitation of photosynthetically active proteins, organelles, and living cells. During the past decade, the considerable progress made in bioentities immobilization offers the possibility to integrate biological systems into electronic devices. Even though solar energy technologies are gaining increasing attention, photosynthetic biofuel cells are still in their infancy. Advances in materials science are necessary to protect, stabilize, and even increase the catalytic performance of bioentities. Moreover, host materials could guarantee higher loading and better electrical charge transport, which would be crucial in the commercial success of biofuel cells. In the future, such semi‐artificial hybrid assemblies could hold promise as sustainable sources of energy.
