2025年7月11日，德国赫姆霍兹环境研究所赖斌博士来访并作学术报告《天然光合产氧系统驱动的可持续生物光伏系统》。

Dr. Lai recieved his master degree at the Institute of Process Engineering, CAS in 2012, and his PhD from The University of Queensland, Australia in 2017. Afterwards, he joined UFZ, Leipzig, Germany as a postdoc and then team leader and started his independent career  funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, Germany. So far, he has secured about 6M euros third party funding as the sole or core PI, and has served on a couple of journals e.g. ESE, Microbial Biotechnology, etc. He is a member of the Scientific and Technical Council at UFZ and the founding speaker of UFZ POF IV Topic 7 strategic platform project MYSUN. His research interests are to develop sustainable bio-solutions to mitigate climate challenges using interdisciplinary  bio-hybrid approaches.

报告摘要：

Biophotovoltaics (BPV) represents an innovative biohybrid technology that couples electrochemistry with oxygenic photosynthetic microbes to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. Central to BPV systems is the ability of microbes to perform extracellular electron transfer, utilizing an anode as an external electron sink. The direct coupling of the photosystem with the external anode is the theoretical basis of the BPV concept, for its capacity to explores the full potential of the oxygenic photosystem for energy production. In this presentation, I will briefly introduce the recent progress in my group, which clarifies the most fundamental uncentainty in this field and experimentally demonstrates the direct electron flow from oxygenic photosystems to the external electron sink.
