OverviewPrinciple of operationTypes of biological photovoltaic systemEfficiencyExternal links

Biological photovoltaics, also called biophotovoltaics or BPV, is an energy-generating technology which uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, or fractions thereof, to harvest light energy and produce electrical power. Biological photovoltaic devices are a type of biological electrochemical system, or microbial fuel cell, and are sometimes also called photo-microbial fuel cells or "living solar cells". In a biological photovoltaic system, electrons generated by photolysis of water are tra

6 FAQs about [Biophotovoltaic solar power generation]

What is biological photovoltaics?

Biological photovoltaics, also called biophotovoltaics or BPV, is an energy-generating technology which uses oxygenic photoautotrophic organisms, or fractions thereof, to harvest light energy and produce electrical power.

What is a whole-cell Biophotovoltaic system?

Whole-cell biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs) are a renewable, non-polluting energy-generating device that utilizes oxygenic photosynthetic microbes (OPMs) to split water molecules and generate bioelectricity under the driving of light energy.

How do Biophotovoltaic systems work?

Biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs) resemble microbial fuel cells, but utilise oxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms associated with an anode to generate an extracellular electrical current, which is stimulated by illumination.

Can Biophotovoltaic systems convert chemical energy into electrical energy?

Policies and ethics Biophotovoltaic systems (BPVs), under anaerobic conditions, have the potential to convert available chemical energy in the wastewater into electrical energy by microbial metabolic activities in the presence of light. The history and the present status of the research...
