报告摘要：Nano-bacteria hybrid material is a new class of interdisciplinary material which couples the advantages of nanomaterials (controlled synthesis, high surface area, unique and tunable physicochemical properties, and etc.) and microbial catalysts (high catalytic specificity and selectivity, self-repair and self-replicate, ease for genome engineering). Nano-bacteria hybrid materials hold great promise in various research fields including artificial photosynthesis and microbial fuel cell, however, questions still remain: 1) the sample inhomogeneity of nanomaterials and its impact on device performance; 2) understanding and optimization of nano-bacteria interface. To answer these questions, we first fabricated a single-nanowire-photoelectrode device, and demonstrated that the photovoltage of nanowire array is limited by individual nanowires within the array. Such result highlights the importance to control and improve the nanoscopic sample homogeneity in ensemble nanodevices. By employing electrochemical methods and in-situ bacteria encapsulation approach, we optimized the nano-bacteria interface for microbial CO2 fixation and microbial fuel cell applications, respectively. As a result, we achieved 1) 3.6% solar-to-acetate efficiency in one week for microbial CO2 fixation and 2) 150 folds increase in bio-current generation for microbial fuel cell. In addition, we demonstrated the intelligence of a nano-bacteria composite which can switch its function between microbial fuel cell mode and supercapacitor energy storage mode.
