Abstract:Strategies of renewable energy production from photosynthetic
microorganisms
are gaining great scientific interest as ecosustainable alternatives
to fossil fuel depletion. Green microalgae have been thoroughly investigated
as living components to convert solar energy into photocurrent in
biophotovoltaic (BPV) cells. Conversely, the suitability of diatoms
in BPV cells has been almost completely unexplored so far, despite
being the most abundant class of photosynthetic microorganisms in
phytoplankton and of thei… Show more
