Green algae aggregates induced by biomineralization are a novel cell-material hybrid that can sustainably produce hydrogen even under natural aerobic conditions. Its evolution of photobiological hydrogen can be understood by the spatial–functional differentiation of the cells within the aggregate.
Abstract
Photobiological hydrogen production is of great importance because of its promise for generating clean renewable energy. In nature, green algae cannot produce hydrogen as a result of the extreme sensitivity of hydrogenase to oxygen. However, we find that silicification-induced green algae aggregates can achieve sustainable photobiological hydrogen production even under natural aerobic conditions. The core–shell structure of the green algae aggregates creates a balance between photosynthetic electron generation and hydrogenase activity, thus allowing the production of hydrogen. This finding provides a viable pathway for the solar-driven splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen to develop green energy alternatives by using rationally designed cell–material complexes.
