Solar photovoltaic technology has consistently been regarded as a crucial direction for the development of clean energy systems in the future. Bio-photovoltaics (BPV), an emerging solar energy utilization technology, is mainly based on the photosynth...
The prevalence of photosynthesis, as the major natural solar energy transduction mechanism or biophotovoltaics (BPV), has always intrigued mankind. Over the last decades, we have learned to extract this renewable energy through continuously improving...
The performance of bio-photovoltaic devices with a monolayer of the immobilized photosynthetic reaction center (RC) is generally low because of weak light absorption and poor charge transfer between the RC and the electrode. In this paper, a new bio-...
This review evaluates the feasibility of using microalgal culture for sustainable energy production, emphasizing microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and biophotovoltaics (BPVs). This study’s uniqueness is rooted in its thorough examination of recent de...
Micro-photosynthetic power cells (μPSCs), also known as biophotovoltaics (BPVs), represent sustainable and self-regenerating solutions for harvesting electricity from photosynthetic microorganisms. However, their practical deployment has been cons...
Here, we report the development of a novel photoactive biomolecular nanoarchitecture based on the genetically engineered extremophilic photosystem I (PSI) biophotocatalyst interfaced with a single layer graphene via pyrene-nitrilotriacetic acid self-...
Within the realm of renewable energy sources, biological-based power systems have emerged as pivotal players particularly suited for low- and ultra-low-power applications. Unlike microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which invariably rely on external carbon f...
A micro-photosynthetic power cell (µPSC) generates electricity through the exploitation of living photosynthetic organisms through the principles of photosynthesis and respiration. Modeling such systems will enhance insights into the µPSC...
Three-dimensional bioprinting integrating living cells and bioactive materials enables the fabrication of scaffold structures supporting diverse cellular growth and metabolism. Microalgae are among the most promising microbial platforms for the const...
