Abstract

<h2>Summary</h2> Semi-artificial photoelectrochemistry that combines light-absorbing materials with biocatalysts for sunlight-driven CO<sub>2</sub> conversion is an attractive yet challenging topic to pursue. In a recent <i>Angewandte Chemie International Edition</i> article, Reisner and coworkers finely adjusted the electrolyte solution to facilitate biocatalysis, considering the vital role of chemical environment on enzyme electroactivity. In the optimum electrolyte solution, an unbiased biophotoelectrochemical CO<sub>2</sub>-to-formate conversion is realized with a solar-to-formate efficiency approaching 1%, representing a benchmark semi-artificial CO<sub>2</sub>-to-formate conversion.
