Hybrid photoelectrodes containing biological pigment-protein complexes can be used for environmentally friendly solar energy conversion, herbicide detection, and other applications. The total number of scientific publications on hybrid bio-based devices has grown rapidly over the past decades. Particular attention is paid to the integration of the complexes of PSII into photoelectrochemical devices. A notable feature of these complexes from a practical point of view is their ability to obtain electrons from abundant water. The utilization or imitation of the PSII functionality seems promising for all of the following: generating photoelectricity, photo-producing hydrogen, and detecting herbicides. This review summarizes recent advances in the development of hybrid devices based on PSII. In a brief historical review, we also highlighted the use of quinone-type bacterial reaction centers in hybrid devices. These proteins are the first from which the photoelectricity signal was detected. The photocurrent in these first systems, developed in the 70s-80s, was about 1 nA cm. In the latest work, by Güzel . (2020), a stable current of about 888 μA cm as achieved in a PSII-based solar cell. The present review is inspired by this impressive progress. The advantages, disadvantages, and future endeavors of PSII-inspired bio-photovoltaic devices are also presented.
包含生物色素 - 蛋白质复合物的混合光电极可用于环境友好型太阳能转换、除草剂检测及其他应用。在过去几十年中，关于基于生物的混合器件的科学出版物总数增长迅速。人们特别关注将光系统II（PSII）的复合物整合到光电化学器件中。从实际角度来看，这些复合物的一个显著特点是它们能够从丰富的水中获取电子。对PSII功能的利用或模仿在以下所有方面似乎都很有前景：发电、光解水制氢以及检测除草剂。本综述总结了基于PSII的混合器件开发的最新进展。在简要的历史回顾中，我们还强调了醌型细菌反应中心在混合器件中的应用。这些蛋白质是最早检测到光电信号的。在20世纪70年代至80年代开发的这些首个系统中，光电流约为1 nA/cm²。在Güzel等人（2020年）的最新工作中，基于PSII的太阳能电池实现了约888 μA/cm²的稳定电流。本综述正是受这一令人瞩目的进展启发而成。文中还介绍了受PSII启发的生物光伏器件的优点、缺点及未来努力方向。
