How hybrid nanoreactors can revolutionize hydrogen production?

🔋 Introduction: Synthetic photobiocatalysts are promising catalysts for valuable chemical transformations by harnessing solar energy inspired by natural photosynthesis. Integrating synergistic components to achieve efficiency in electron harvesting, cascade transfer and biocatalytic reactions is challenging. Here we present a hybrid chemical-biological nanoreactor that addresses this challenge.

1️⃣ Hybrid Nanoreactor Design: The nanoreactor is constructed by anchoring a layer of α-carboxysome enclosing [FeFe]-hydrogenases (H-S) on the surface of a hydrogen bonded organic molecular crystal, a microporous α-polymorph of 1,3,6,8-tetra(4′-carboxyphenyl)pyrene (TBAP-α). This hybrid system facilitates self-association via hydrogen bonds, revealed by molecular dynamics simulations.

2️⃣ Photobiocatalyst operation: Within the hybrid photobiocatalyst, TBAP-α functions as an antenna for visible light absorption and exciton generation, providing electrons for H-S sacrificial hydrogen production in aqueous solutions. This coordination allows the nanoreactor to execute light-driven hydrogen evolution at a rate comparable to that of the photocatalyst-loaded precious co-catalyst.

3️⃣ Future Applications: The approach to building light-driven biocatalysts combines biological nanotechnology with the multidimensional structure and functional control of supramolecular organic semiconductors. This opens up innovative opportunities for the fabrication of biomimetic nanoreactors for the sustainable production of fuels and enzymatic reactions.
