Abstract

Semiconducting minerals are widely distributed in nature. They have been playing critical roles in near-surface geological processes, including the formation of prebiotic organic molecules (Schoonen et al., Ambio 33:539–551, 2004), and controlling and affecting (bio)geochemical redox processes in nature (Rosso, Rev Mineral Geochem 42:199–272, 2001; Lu et al., Nat Commun 3:768–775, 2012).
