Solid-State Biophotovoltaic Cells Containing Photosystem I

The large multiprotein complex, photosystem I (PSI), which is at the heart of light‐dependent reactions in photosynthesis, is integrated as the active component in a solid‐state organic photovoltaic cell. These experiments demonstrate that photoactive megadalton protein complexes are compatible with...

Description
Summary:The large multiprotein complex, photosystem I (PSI), which is at the heart of light‐dependent reactions in photosynthesis, is integrated as the active component in a solid‐state organic photovoltaic cell. These experiments demonstrate that photoactive megadalton protein complexes are compatible with solution processing of organic‐semiconductor materials and operate in a dry non‐natural environment that is very different from the biological membrane.
