This book chronicles a few approaches to constructing biohybrid
devices using photosynthetic protein complexes. Can the abundantly
available solar energy be tapped to meet our rising energy demands
using green and cheap active materials? Exploring nature's own tiny
solar factories, the photosynthetic proteins could hold the key.
Photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes found in plants and
certain types of bacteria transduce sunlight into biologically
useful forms of energy through a photochemical charge separation
that has a 100% quantum efficiency. Getting the photoproteins to
perform this efficient energy conversion reaction in a
semi-artificial setup is central to developing biohybrid solar
technologies, a promising green alternative to today's
photovoltaics. This book looks into the existing challenges and
opportunities in the field of biohybrid photovoltaics and provides
a few prospective methods of enhancing the photocurrent and
photovoltage in these devices. The book targets the readership of
students, academics, and industrial practitioners who are
interested in alternative solar technologies.
