Biophotovoltaic solar power generation

Biological photovoltaics, also called biophotovoltaics[1] or BPV, is an energy-generating technology which uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, or fractions thereof, to harvest light energy and produce electrical power. The basic idea is the conversion of light energy into electrical energy using photosynthetic microorganisms. This emerging field combines the principles of synthetic biology, electrochemistry, and photobiology to create a sustainable and renewable energy source. In this article, we. . Scientists have discovered that microscopic organisms might hold the key to a new generation of renewable energy technology that can power devices while simultaneously fighting climate change.
