The formation of defined surfaces consisting of photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) in biohybrid solar cells is challenging. Here, we start with the production of engineered RCs for oriented binding. RCs are deposited onto gold electrodes, and 6-mercapto-1-hexanol (MCH) is used to displace multilayers and non-specifically adsorbed RCs. The resulting electrode surfaces are analyzed for photocurrent generation using an intensity-modulated light and lock-in amplifier. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to characterize the surface and the formation of RC structural assemblies. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Jun et al. (2021).
在生物混合太阳能电池中形成由光合反应中心 (RC) 组成的定义表面具有挑战性。在这里,我们从定向结合的工程 RC 的生产开始。将 RC 沉积在金电极上,并使用 6-巯基-1-己醇 (MCH) 置换多层和非特异性吸附的 RC。使用强度调制光和锁相放大器分析产生光电流的电极表面。原子力显微镜 (AFM) 用于表征表面和 RC 结构组件的形成。有关此配置文件的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参阅 Jun 等人。(2021)。
