Abstract
An enhancement of the photocurrent is achieved in a biohybrid nanocomposite consisting of nanovesicle reconstituted proteorhodopsin and potassium phosphotungstate nanoparticles. With the observation of an accelerated protein photocycle and elevated proton conductivity, this improvement of the photo-electric performance is attributed to the construction of a 3D proton-transfer framework.
