Abstract

See full text

A system for harvesting electric energy from illumination by photons by photo- and bioelectrocatalysis includes an electrode coated with conducting polymer matrix containing the oxidoreductase, laccase, and a redox mediator, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiaxoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS). The photo-anode is based on nanocrystalline TlO2 (Degussa, P25) adhered to a fluorine tin oxide (FTO) electrode. The device operation is based on a continuous photocatalytic oxidation of water to oxygen at a TiO2-photoanode and bioelectrocatalytic reduction of oxygen to water at a biocathode under illumination with light.
