Abstract

Abstract : Photosynthetic pigment–proteins exhibit an excellent ability to transduce solar energy to electrical energy with high quantum efficiency. In article number 1601821, Swee Ching Tan and co‐workers report a tandem design demonstrating the photocurrent enhancement by complementary absorption of the red and green variants of a bacterial Reaction Center/Light Harvesting protein that vary in the absorption characteristics of the carotenoid.
