Abstract

The geometry necessitated by the lipid systems (2 half-cells separated by the lipid) appear cumbersome in any practical solar energy conversion device. Consequently, the authors' approach has been to deposit the simplest photosynthetic complex that carries out a light-induced charge separation (the bacterial reaction center) directly onto one of the electrodes of an electrochemical cell. It is felt that photoelectrochemical cells incorporating reaction centers might approach the efficiencies of semiconductor photovoltaic devices if light-induced stability problems can be overcome.
