  • High power density photo-electronic and photo-voltaic materials and methods of making
    Patent number: 8883538
    Abstract: A high power density photo-electronic and photo-voltaic material comprising a bio-inorganic nanophotoelectronic material with a photosynthetic reaction center protein encapsulated inside a multi-wall carbon nanotube or nanotube array. The array can be on an electrode. The photosynthetic reaction center protein can be immobilized on the electrode surface and the protein molecules can have the same orientation. A method of making a high power density photo-electronic and photo-voltaic material comprising the steps of immobilizing a bio-inorganic nanophotoelectronic material with a photosynthetic reaction center protein inside a carbon nanotube, wherein the immobilizing is by passive diffusion, wherein the immobilizing can include using an organic linker.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2014
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Nikolai Lebedev, Scott A Trammell, Stanislav Tsoi, Mark E Twigg, Joel M Schnur
