Abstract

Solar Hunter is an artificial hydrogen production system comprising biofilm-anchored semiconductor nanorods (NRs) which efficiently convert photons to electrons, and engineered strain expressing [FeFe] hydrogenase that can efficiently catalyze Hydrogen production upon receiving the electrons donated by NRs. The success of this integrative hydrogen-producing system relies on robust construction and functional characterization of each part separately. We have proved that we successfully constructed and characterized our parts, as revealed below.
