New method for converting solar energy into electrical power using 
photo-bioelectrochemical cells
> http://phys.org/news/2016-01-method-solar-energy-electrical-power.html#nRlv


> A new paradigm for the development of photo-bioelectrochemical cells
> has been reported in the journal Nature Energy by researchers from
> The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in Israel, and the University of
> Bochum, in Germany.
>
> The design of photo-bioelectrochemical cells based on native
> photosynthetic reaction is attracting substantial recent interest as
> a means for the conversion of solar light energy into electrical
> power.
>
> In the natural photosynthetic apparatus, photosynthetic reaction is
> coupled to biocatalytic transformations leading to CO2 fixation and
> O2 evolution. Although significant progress has been achieved in the
> integration of native photosystems with electrodes for
> light-to-electrical energy conversion, the conjugation of the
> photosystems to enzymes to yield photo-bioelectrocatalytic solar
> cells remains a challenge.
