ABSTRACT

In the era of environmental consciousness, the demand for highly efficient materials and technologies capable of producing hydrogen is at an all-time high. One promising solution to this challenge lies in harnessing the power of biological hydrogen production, complemented by the integration of nanomaterials including carbon-based materials and transition metals. Various methods employed in biological hydrogen production, including bio-photolysis, dark and photo fermentation, and anaerobic digestion coupled with nanomaterials, have garnered significant scientific and technological attention. In this chapter, we delve into the different methods of hydrogen production from biological sources, exploring their potential when combined with nanomaterials. The advantages and applications of these methods are thoroughly discussed, shedding light on their efficacy and efficiency in hydrogen production. By offering a broad view of modern preparation methods and their practical applications, this assessment paves the way for rapid development in the field. Embracing the synergy between biology and nanomaterials, this chapter presents a compelling argument for the integration of these technologies in the quest for sustainable hydrogen production. We hope that this study catalyzes further advancements, propelling us toward a greener and more prosperous future.
