Designing Microbe-Semiconductor Interfaces for Semibiological Photosynthesis.
Review in Chemical reviews, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Integrating semiconductors with microorganisms is attracting significant attention as a sustainable platform for solar-to-chemical conversion. This semibiological design combines the excellent light harvesting ability of semiconductor materials with intracellular biocatalytic pathways to enable efficient solar energy conversion into complex products with high selectivity. However, the effectiveness of this interdisciplinary biohybrid approach relies on a complex interfacial biotic-abiotic interaction, and it remains challenging to construct efficient and stable microbe-semiconductor systems for practical applications. In this review, we provide a systematic overview of the fundamental mechanisms behind microbe-semiconductor systems with an emphasis on interfacial electron transfer and highlight recent advancements in the assembly of biohybrids for solar-driven biosynthesis using nonphotosynthetic bacteria. First, we provide a comprehensive introduction of semibiological photosynthesis with an emphasis on extracellular electron transfer at the biotic-abiotic interfaces. Then, we discuss the engineering of biohybrid interfaces, the characterization of microbe-semiconductor interfacial electron transfer, and their deployment in solar-to-chemical conversion. We conclude by exploring the challenges in developing and optimizing biotic-abiotic interfaces as well as providing an outlook for potential future innovations. This review therefore presents the basic principles and provides guidance for the development of semibiological photosynthetic systems.
