“…In such cases the interaction between an emitter and a metallic nanostructure can be probed by monitoring decrease of donor emission intensity and shortening of its fluorescence decay. The resonant character of plasmon excitations in metallic nanostructures implies strong wavelength dependence of both metal-enhanced fluorescence and fluorescence quenching [9,11,12].…”

Fluorescence studies of natural photosynthetic complexes on a graphene layer demonstrate pronounced influence of the excitation wavelength on the energy transfer efficiency to graphene. Ultraviolet light yields much faster decay of fluorescence, with average efficiencies of the energy transfer equal to 87% and 65% for excitation at 405 nm and 640 nm, respectively. This implies that focused light changes locally the properties of graphene affecting the energy transfer dynamics, in an analogous way as in the case of metallic nanostructures. Demonstrating optical control of the energy transfer is important for exploiting unique properties of graphene in photonic and sensing architectures.

“…Furthermore, the apoprotein of the PCP complex can be easily reconstituted with mixtures of chlorophylls thus providing a tool to engineer the energy transfer dynamics between pigments in a well-dened protein geometry. Last but not least, the absorption of the PCP complex matches well with the plasmon frequencies of both gold and silver small spherical nanoparticles [19,20].…”

We theoretically investigate dynamics of excitation in a hybrid nanostructure comprising a photosynthetic complex peridinin-chlorophyll-protein (PCP) coupled to a gold spherical nanoparticle. Our model includes the analytical description of radiative and non-radiative relaxation channels of the chlorophylls in PCP, as well as the change of energy transfer rate within the PCP due to the presence of metal scatterer. We show that by measuring the intensity of uorescence from selectively excited chlorophyll molecules in the PCP complex, elementary geometric properties of the system can be deduced.

“…Enhancement of light absorption was observed for PSI attached to plasmonic nanoparticles (PNPs) [49]. The LHCs anchored on plasmonic gold or silver island substrates were able to generate 10-to 20-fold of fluorescence emission [50][51][52].…”

TiO 2 , a photosensitive semiconducting material, has been widely reported as a good photoanode material in dye-sensitized solar cells and new emerging perovskite cells. Its proper electronic band structure, surface chemistry and hydrophilic nature provide a reactive surface for interfacing with different organic and inorganic photon capturing materials in photovoltaics. Here, we review its enabling role in incorporating two special materials toward biophotovoltaics, including photosynthetic protein complexes extracted from plants and plasmonic nanoparticles (e.g., gold or silver nanoparticles), which interplay to enhance the absorption and utilization of sun light. We will first give a brief introduction to the TiO 2 photoanode, including preparation, optical and electrochemical properties, and then summarize our recent research and other related literature on incorporating photosynthetic light harvest complexes and plasmonic nanoparticles onto anatase TiO 2 photoanodes as a means to tap into the charge separation, electron and energy transfer, and photovoltaic enhancements in the bio-photovoltaics.
