Abstract

Photosynthetic proteins present in plants and microbes naturally possess an excellent ability to harvest solar energy by means of the highly efficient light-driven steps of photosynthesis. Exploiting the photovoltaic abilities of these proteins for developing biohybrid solar cells is a new area of research and is a promising route towards efficient solar energy conversion devoid of any economic and environmental constraints posed by other emerging technologies. This Chapter presents a brief overview of the basic structure and function of photosynthetic proteins, outlines the different approaches to integrating them in device environments, reviews the application prospects of different biohybrid device architectures, and discusses the various challenges and discrepancies in building and testing such devices.
