Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have developed a bio-based solar cell. They embedded the two proteins photosystem 1 and 2, which in plants are responsible of photosynthesis, into complex molecules developed in-house, thus creating an In leaves, photosystem 1 (PS1) absorbs light and its energy is finally utilized for the conversion of carbon dioxide to biomass. Photovoltaic devices, mostly build from silicon based semiconductors, also harness solar light but produce electricity. photosystem 1, a robust and efficient light harvesting protein In leaves, photosystem 1 (PS1) absorbs light and its energy is finally utilized for the conversion of carbon dioxide to biomass. Photovoltaic devices, mostly build from silicon based A study released today in the journal Advanced Materials found that by combining silicon solar cells with the photosynthesis protein Photosystem 1 (PS1), they could achieve improvements in both the current and voltage produced by traditional solar cells. Harnessing the power of spinach More than 40 years ago, scientists discovered that one of the proteins involved in photosynthesis, called Photosystem 1 (PS1), continued to function when it was extracted from plants like spinach. Then they determined PS1 Researchers at Ruhr-Universitat Bochum have created a bio-based solar cell capable of generating a continuous electrical light energy is converted to chemical energy in two steps or photosystems. When a plant, algae or cyanobacteria absorb a light .
Researchers aim to make their solar cell more efficient by focusing their attention on the use of a protein complex called photosystem 1 (PS1). This protein complex is essential to the photosynthesis, working alongside photosystem 2 (PS2) to enable plants Figure 1: Computational simulations of photosystem II inside a realistic, water-containing membrane reveal the existence of previously hidden molecular pathways that play critical roles in photosynthesis. The protein complex known as photosystem II splits Zhang, assistant computer science professor Marc Baldo, and recent MIT graduate Patrick Kiley helped develop the technology, dubbed Photosystem 1. The MIT team joined forces with scientists at the University of Tennessee and the US Naval Research Laboratory.
