Biohybrid Solar Cells

For the last some decades, numerous works have been reported on biohybrid electrodes using some biocomponents of photosynthetic apparatus for the conversion of sunlight to produce electricity. Up to now, these works are limited to laboratory scale the future of these could be solar cells efficiently which will be a brand new method of using photosynthetic protein complexes as light-harvesting devices. The main challenge is the appropriate selection of species for specific protein complexes for building low-cost and highly efficient device. The present chapter consists of a brief discussion about the solar cells, their generation and efficiencies, the role of photosynthesis in biohybrid solar cells, as well as it includes the substrate used for fabrication of biohybrid solar cells.
