Zusammenfassung:Recent breakthroughs have reinvigorated the century-old research domain of artificial photosynthesis. Here, we highlight CO2 -reducing and O2 -liberating integrated photobioelectrochemical systems that contain novel enzymatic cathodes and photoanodes. These devices, which are completely self-driven by solar energy with unprecedented efficiency and stability, have important implications for biotechnological research communities.
