Figure 1. Natural and engineered photosynthesis. (A) Natural photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O → biomass + O2. (B) Semibiological platform (not to scale): a BiVO4|TiCo photoanode releases O2 for bacterial respiration and is coupled to an OPV|IO-TiO2|FDH+CA photocathode for bias-free formate production. Formate fuels engineered E. coli, closing the CO2 loop. HTL, hole transport layer; OSC, organic semiconductor; ETL, electron transport layer; GE, graphite epoxy encapsulant
