This captivating book delves into the realm of constructing biohybrid devices by harnessing the power of photosynthetic protein complexes. It explores the potential of utilizing the abundant solar energy to meet our growing energy demands, employing green and cost-effective active materials. By examining nature's own miniature solar factories, photosynthetic proteins emerge as key players in this pursuit. These remarkable pigment-protein complexes found in plants and certain types of bacteria possess the remarkable ability to transduce sunlight into biologically valuable forms of energy through a photochemical charge separation process, achieving a remarkable 100% quantum efficiency. The central challenge lies in facilitating the efficient energy conversion reaction of photoproteins within a semi-artificial setup, paving the way for the development of biohybrid solar technologies. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the current challenges and emerging opportunities in the field of biohybrid photovoltaics. It presents a range of prospective methods aimed at enhancing the photocurrent and photovoltage in these devices, making them a promising green alternative to traditional photovoltaics. With a focus on the readership of students, academics, and industrial practitioners interested in alternative solar technologies, this book provides valuable insights and knowledge for those seeking to contribute to the advancement of renewable energy solutions.
