Biophotocurrent Generation: Enhanced Biophotocurrent Generation in Living Photosynthetic Optical Resonator (Adv. Sci. 11/2020)

In article number 1903707, Yu‐Cheng Chen and co‐workers demonstrate an approach to amplify bio‐nano‐electricity through the encapsulation of living algae in an optical micro‐cavity. The strong energy coupling between the cavity mode and photosynthetic resonance reveal the potential of exploiting optical resonators to amplify biological photocurrent generation and energy‐harvesting efficiency. Potential applications include photocatalysis, electrochemistry, and sustainable biophotonics. [Image: see text]
