Nanomaterial-microorganism hybrid systems (NMHSs), integrating semiconductor nanomaterials with microorganisms, present a promising platform for broadband solar energy harvesting, high-efficiency carbon reduction, and sustainable chemical production. While studies underscore its potential in diverse solar-to-chemical conversions, prevailing NMHSs grapple suboptimal conversion efficiency. Such limitations stem predominantly from an insufficient systematic exploration of the mechanisms dictating flow. This review provides overview notable advancements this nascent field, particular focus on discussion three pivotal steps flow: capture, cross-membrane transport, into chemicals. key challenges faced each stage are independently identified discussed, viable solutions correspondingly postulated. In view interplay affecting overall efficiency conversion, subsequent discussions thus take integrative viewpoint to comprehend, analyze improve flow current different configurations, highlighting contemporary techniques that can be employed investigate various aspects within NMHSs.
