Microalgal phytoremediation is a promising bioremediation approach that can achieve significant resource recovery while effectively removing pollutants. However, the toxicity of some pollutants in wastewater often induces stress responses in microalgae, reducing their pollutant removal efficiency. Recently, phytohormones have been identified as a novel solution to reduce these stress responses, enhancing microalgae growth and improving their ability to remove various pollutants from wastewater.

However, challenges such as limited removal rates and the complexity of algae cell recovery persist. In this study, chitosan and FeCl modified peanut shell biochar (CTS@FeBC) was prepared for the immobilization of Chlorella pyrenoidosa.

- Microalgae are being explored for carbon capture, but their efficiency isn't quite where it needs to be.
- Artificial photosynthesis is better at converting carbon dioxide, although it currently only produces small organic compounds (C1-C3).
- Combining artificial photosynthesis with heterotrophic microalgae culture could improve carbon capture and produce valuable organic matter, indicating a promising area for future research.
