Abstract

Photosynthesis (PS) teaches us to manipulate power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bio-photovoltaics (Bio-PVs). Over the past few years, Bio-PVs have struggled with low PCE which have restricted their large-scale commercialization. The photosystems I (PSI) and photosystems II (PSII) as pigment-protein supercomplexes with quantum mechanics properties such as quantum coherence (QC), hopping, superposition and charge delocalization have been utilized as sensitizers of Bio-PVs. Physicochemical capabilities of photosystem sensitizers have recently triggered wide researches about enhancing quantum efficiency (QE), charge separation and excited energy transfer (EET) in Bio-PVs. With presenting summary of trends in Bio-PVs, efforts in this review has focused on highlighting the challenges including interdisciplinary tackling the toughest problems of this field. To achieve this goal, photosynthetic electron-hole transfer mechanism has been discussed as well as mimicking their pathways using state-of-the-art materials with representing impactful prospective. This review paper could be important because: (1) Points out the main reasons of low PCE of Bio-PVs and (2) Considers the photosystems from structural and physicochemical aspect to highlight what occurring in PS whose vacancy in Bio-PVs design is strongly felt.

利用光合蛋白复合物提高生物光电转换效率的自然启发

光合作用（PS）教会我们如何操纵生物光伏（Bio-PV）的功率转换效率（PCE）。在过去几年中，生物光伏一直在为低 PCE 而挣扎，这限制了其大规模商业化。光系统 I（PSI）和光系统 II（PSII）作为色素-蛋白质超级复合物，具有量子相干（QC）、跳跃、叠加和电荷脱ocalization 等量子力学特性，已被用作生物光伏的敏化剂。光系统敏化剂的物理化学能力最近引发了有关提高生物光电池量子效率（QE）、电荷分离和激发能量转移（EET）的广泛研究。在总结了生物光伏的发展趋势后，本综述重点强调了这一领域所面临的挑战，包括跨学科解决最棘手的问题。为了实现这一目标，我们讨论了光合作用电子-空穴传输机制，以及使用最先进的材料模仿其路径，并提出了具有影响力的前景。这篇综述论文的重要性在于：（1）指出了生物光电池 PCE 较低的主要原因；（2）从结构和物理化学方面考虑了光合系统，突出了 PS 中发生的情况，而 PS 在生物光电池设计中的空缺令人强烈感受到。
