The harvesting of photosynthetic electrons (PEs) directly from photosynthetic complexes has been demonstrated over the past decade. However, their limited efficiency and stability have hampered further practical development. For example, despite its importance, the interfacial electron transfer between the photosynthetic apparatus and the electrode has received little attention. In this study, we modified electrodes with RuO2 nanosheets to enhance the extraction of PEs from thylakoids, and the PE transfer was promoted by proton adsorption and surface polarity characteristics. The adsorbed protons maintained the potential of an electrode more positive, and the surface polarity enhanced thylakoid attachment to the electrode in addition to promoting ensemble docking between the redox species and the electrode. The RuO2 bioanode exhibited a five times larger current density and a four times larger power density than the Au bioanode. Last, the electric calculators were successfully powered by photosynthetic energy using a RuO2 bioanode.

The cyclic voltammograms of tris (2,2′-bipyridyl) iron(II) ([Fe(bpy)3]2+) adsorbed in clay-modified electrodes made from a range of different smectites were recorded. In all cases, at low scan speed (1 mV/s), the initial anodic peak current was much larger than the initial cathodic peak current. Partial reduction of the clay structural iron further increased the initial anodic to cathodic current ratio, suggesting that the discrepancy between the charge transferred in the anodic and cathodic scans was due to a slow electron transfer between the clay structural Fe(II) and the oxidized bipyridyl cations. However, no clear quantitative relation was found between the measured FeO contents of the different clays and the observed excess anodic currents. In fact, of all the clays tested only one, montmorillonite SWy-1, contained enough Fe(II) for it to account for all of the excess anodic charge transferred in the initial scan.
