Fig. 3. Characterization of S. ovata@ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3 bio-artificial photosynthetic system.
(A) Representative photocurrent responses of ITO, ITO/P3HT, ITO/PCBM, ITO/P3HT:PCBM, and ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3 polymer semiconductor films at 10-s intervals, which were recorded in phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 7.4) containing 0.2 wt % cysteine at 0-V bias. (B) Photocurrent response of S. ovata, ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3, and S. ovata@ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3 artificial biohybrid system in 10 mM PBS solution (pH 7.4) at 0-V bias. (C) Schematic diagram of the arrangement for measuring the ionic voltage (top) and device voltage (bottom) from polymer semiconductor film. (D) The ionic voltage and device voltage changes in response to light activation in ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/MoO3 film recorded using a free-floating electrode tip in phosphate-buffered saline bath solution (0.1 M, pH 7.4).
