Spinach can increase efficiency of solar cells

Scientists have found a way to combine spinach’s photosynthetic protein, which naturally converts light into electrochemical energy, with silicon in a new “biohybrid” solar cell. The protein is called Photosystem 1 (PS1). Researchers say that this spinach-based material produces substantially more electrical current than has been reported by previous “biohybrid” solar cells, and could be
