Abstract
Abio/bio hybrids, which incorporate biocatalysts that promote efficient and selective material conversions under mild conditions into existing catalytic reactions, have attracted considerable attention for developing new catalytic systems. This study constructed a H2 -forming biocathode based on a carbon material combined with whole-cell biocatalysis of genetically-engineered-hydrogenase-overproducing Escherichia coli for the photoelectrochemical water splitting for clean H2 production. Low-cost and abundant carbon materials are generally not suitable for H2 -forming cathode due to their high overpotential for proton reduction; however, the combination of the reduction of an organic electron mediator on the carbon electrode and the H2 formation with the reduced mediator by the redox enzyme hydrogenase provides a H2 -forming cathodic reaction comparable to that of the noble metal electrode. The present study demonstrates that the recombinant E. coli whole cell can be employed as a part of the H2 -forming biocathode system, and the biocathode system wired with TiO2 photoanode can be a photoelectrochemical water-splitting system without external voltage assistance under natural pH. The findings of this study expand the feasibility of applications of whole-cell biocatalysis and contribute to obtaining solar-to-chemical conversions by abio/bio hybrid systems, especially for low-cost, noble-metal-free, and clean H2 production.

Abstract
CdS nanoparticles were introduced on E. coli cells to construct a hydrogen generating biohybrid system via the biointerface of tannic acid-Fe complex. This hybrid system promotes good biological activity in a high salinity environment. Under light illumination, the as-synthesized biohybrid system achieves a 32.44 % enhancement of hydrogen production in seawater through a synergistic effect.

Abstract
With the increasing awareness of sustainable development, energy and environment are becoming two of the most important issues of concern to the world today. Whole-cell-based photosynthetic biohybrid systems (PBSs), an emerging interdisciplinary field, are considered as attractive biosynthetic platforms with great prospects in energy and environment, combining the superiorities of semiconductor materials with high energy conversion efficiency and living cells with distinguished biosynthetic capacity. This review presents a systematic discussion on the synthesis strategies of whole-cell-based PBSs that demonstrate a promising potential for applications in sustainable solar-to-chemical conversion, including light-facilitated carbon dioxide reduction and biohydrogen production. In the end, the explicit perspectives on the challenges and future directions in this burgeoning field are discussed.
