The wiring of Photosystem II to a H2 evolving hydrogenase or a CO2 reducing formate dehydrogenase has subsequently enabled the in vitro re-engineering of natural photosynthetic pathways using semi-artificial Z-scheme architectures.6-9 In contrast to natural photosynthesis, these hybrid systems allow panchromic light absorption by using complementary biotic and abiotic light absorbers. The underlying photoelectrochemical circuit provides effective electronic communication without losses to competing side-reactions. Progress in the integration of robust live cyanobacteria in 3D structured electrodes will also be discussed.10
