a Cross-sectional STEM image of biohybrid sample. b A representative photocurrent curve of CDs, Syne cells, and CDs–Syne hybrids (30 μL per sample, containing 500 mg L−1 C-CDs, Syne cells with OD730 of 9, used carbon paper (1 × 1 cm2) as working electrode). c The quantitative photocurrent of CDs, Syne cells, and CDs–Syne hybrids. d The zeta potentials of C-CDs in ethanol, Syne cells in water and CDs–Syne hybrids in water. e Schematic of transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy analysis. τ1 and τ2 represent the charge transfer process and charge recombination process, respectively. f Transient kinetics for pure CDs and CDs–Syne hybrids.
