Biological photovoltaics
OverviewPrinciple of operationTypes of biological photovoltaic systemEfficiencyExternal links
Biological photovoltaics, also called biophotovoltaics or BPV, is an energy-generating technology which uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, or fractions thereof, to harvest light energy and produce electrical power. Biological photovoltaic devices are a type of biological electrochemical system, or microbial fuel cell, and are sometimes also called photo-microbial fuel cells or "living solar cells". In a biological photovoltaic system, electrons generated by photolysis of water are tra…
