    Harnessing abundant solar energy for sustainable fuel production offers one of the most encouraging strategies to mitigate CO2 emissions. The discovery of novel and efficient photocatalysts to enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction is important for converting solar energy to fuel. Porphyrin‐functionalized UiO‐66 on a BiVO4 semiconductor is introduced to convert CO2 via photoreactions. Here, the solar‐driven production of carbonaceous feedstocks is reported using a novel photocatalytic material S‐scheme UiO‐66‐TCPP‐BiVO4 heterojunction coupled with the photosystem II (PSII) in a microalgae. Coupling PSII with synthetic catalysts improves the efficiency of light‐harvesting and the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, transient photocurrent response, photoluminescence lifetime, X‐ray photoelectron spectrometer, transmission electron microscope (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and electron spin resonance measurements are conducted to determine the complex structural and electronic properties and the photocatalytic performance. In situ Fourier‐transform infrared spectra provide the CO2RR processes, revealing the mechanism by detailing intermediate formation and energy pathways.

    Biomass is a valuable renewable energy adapted as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Apart from fuels, biomass is synthesized into highly valuable products that are used in various forms including biofuels, biochemical, bioproducts, packing material, and find practice in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals industries. Particularly, microalgae a third‐generation feedstock known for its rich carbon content possesses protein lipids and carbohydrates produces a variety of green products such as bioethanol, biohydrogen, biodiesel, and biomethane, and also fixes carbon emission to a certain amount in the atmosphere. However, microalgae conversion in the presence of a catalyst such as a metal–organic framework (MOF) yields high‐quality valuable products. A MOF is a porous crystalline material where the structure and pore size can be controlled making it suitable for catalytic reactions and appropriate conversion paths. This review briefly explains the prevailing status of microalgae as a sustainable biomass and features its components for microalgae biorefinery into valuable products and its application in the food industry. MOF properties, characteristics and various MOF‐based conversion technologies for biomass conversion with its application are elaborated. In addition, usage of value products produced from microalgae biorefinery in the food industry and its importance is elucidated. In addition, the challenges in integrating biorefinery processes with food industry operations and their solutions are also presented.
