The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

This review tries to establish that the proteins at the core of photosynthesis—photosystem I, photosystem II, and bacterial reaction centers—can be taken out of the membrane and attached to electrodes and metal nanostructures to make working light detectors and low-efficiency solar cells. Its central conclusion is that the bottleneck is not the proteins' internal charge separation, which can be nearly 100% efficient, but the electronic junction that couples them to the solid and the thinness of the light-absorbing layer. The review claims that plasmon resonance from metal nanoparticles and patterned surfaces enhances absorption, fluorescence, electron transport, light transmission through nano-slits, and charge modulation on microelectrodes, with reported enhancements ranging from a few-fold to tens-fold depending on geometry. At the same time, external quantum efficiency remains low—often under 0.1%—because single monolayers absorb little light and because imperfect junctions waste photogenerated electrons. If this picture is right, engineering better contacts and thicker or higher-surface-area assemblies will matter more than improving the proteins themselves.

What carries the argument

The central object is the electronic junction between protein and electrode. The review evaluates junctions with two transport models: the Moser-Dutton tunneling formula (Eq. 1), which gives electron transfer rates from donor-acceptor distance, driving force, and reorganization energy, and the Landauer/Breit-Wigner resonant tunneling transmission model (Eq. 2), which treats the protein as a molecular conductor between two electrodes. On the optical side, the carrying mechanism is exciton-plasmon coupling: weak coupling enhances local fields and thus absorption, fluorescence, and photocurrent, while strong coupling produces Rabi splitting (Eq. 5) and delocalized polaritonic states that can modify the protein's energy landscape. The review uses these mechanisms to explain why certain junctions—covalent cysteine-thiol bonds, histag-Ni-NTA, quinone wiring, and cytochrome c mediation—work better than electrostatic adsorption.

What would settle it

A well-oriented PSI junction whose current is measured as a function of temperature would settle the transport mechanism: the tunneling model predicts temperature independence, while thermally activated hopping predicts rising current with temperature. On the efficiency side, a device with known absorption cross-section and known junction resistance whose external quantum efficiency exceeds the absorption-limited value would show that the low-absorption bottleneck is not the whole story.

Extended reading notes

Core claim

The central claim of this review is that photosynthetic proteins can function as the active elements in solid-state optoelectronic devices, and that their performance is governed by two controllable factors: the electronic junction that couples the protein to the electrode, and the plasmonic environment that tunes how much light the protein captures. The review argues that oriented attachment through covalent bonds, histags, quinone wiring, or cytochrome c mediation yields efficient internal charge separation and transport, while plasmon resonance from metal nanostructures enhances absorption, fluorescence, and photocurrent by factors ranging from roughly 2 to 40 depending on geometry. It concludes that external quantum efficiency remains low—often around 0.07% or below—because the protein layer is thin and the junctions are not yet good enough, not because the proteins are intrinsically poor converters.

Load-bearing premise

The review's efficiency conclusions assume that electrons cross these protein devices by simple tunneling, as described by two idealized formulas; if hopping or other transport mechanisms take over in some proteins, the conclusions about junction quality would not hold.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If junction quality is the main bottleneck, then improving the electronic contact, rather than replacing the protein, should be the first step toward higher external quantum efficiency.
  • Oriented multilayers of PSI increase photovoltage and photocurrent per area, so stacking layers is a route to compensate for the intrinsically low absorption cross-section of a single monolayer.
  • Plasmonic nanostructures can raise photocurrent by factors of 2 to 40 depending on geometry, so tuning plasmon resonance to the protein's absorption bands is a quantitative lever for device output.
  • Strong coupling between chlorophyll excitons and cavity plasmons can generate Rabi splitting and delocalized polaritonic states, suggesting a path to modify photosynthetic energy transfer rather than merely enhance local fields.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • Editorial inference: the review's reported numbers imply that a device combining oriented multilayers, high-surface-area electrodes, and plasmonic enhancement should be able to exceed the roughly 0.07% external quantum efficiency figures; the review does not itself build such a device.
  • Editorial inference: temperature-dependent transport measurements on PSII and RC junctions, which the review reports only for a few proteins, would test whether tunneling is as universal as the review assumes.
  • Editorial inference: the Rabi-splitting results point to a testable extension—placing PSI or RC in a tunable microcavity and measuring whether photocurrent follows the lower polariton branch.

Referee Report

4 major / 6 minor

Summary. This manuscript is a review of solid-state and electrochemical devices based on photosynthetic proteins (PSI, PSII, RC, light-harvesting complexes) attached to metal, semiconductor, and nanostructured surfaces. It covers electron-transfer theory (Moser–Dutton and Landauer/Breit–Wigner), junction fabrication strategies for oriented protein attachment, device performance in terms of photocurrent, photovoltage, and efficiency, and plasmon-enhanced absorption, fluorescence, and photocurrent. The central thesis is that plasmon coupling enhances multiple photophysical processes, while external quantum efficiency remains low because of small absorption cross-sections or poor electronic junctions.

Significance. The review addresses a question of current interest in bio-photonics and bioelectronics: whether photosynthetic protein–nanostructure hybrids can serve as functional photodetectors and low-efficiency photovoltaics, and where the bottleneck lies. Its strengths are a broad compilation of junction chemistries, a clear articulation of the 'low absorption cross-section versus poor junction' bottleneck, and the inclusion of theoretical frameworks (Moser–Dutton, Landauer/Breit–Wigner, Rabi splitting) that give the discussion structure. The paper is, however, heavily reliant on the authors' own previously published measurements for its headline numbers, and the presence of unit inconsistencies and missing equations prevents the quantitative conclusions from being assessed as written. If the underlying primary sources support corrected values, this could be a useful and citable review; in its current form, the quantitative claims are not self-consistent.

major comments (4)
  1. [Junctions in oriented PSI electrochemical devices] The paragraph reporting the record device states 'photocurrent density of 362 mA/cm2, open circuit photovoltage of 0.5 V, fill factor of 71%, and electrical power density of 81 mW/cm2' followed by 'total incident-light to electrical external power conversion efficiency was only ~0.07%.' These figures are mutually inconsistent: 0.362 A/cm2 × 0.5 V × 0.71 = 128.5 mW/cm2, not 81 mW/cm2, and a power output of 81 mW/cm2 under 1 sun (100 mW/cm2) would correspond to 81% efficiency, not 0.07%. If the intended photocurrent is 362 μA/cm2, the power density would be about 0.13 mW/cm2, still not 81 mW/cm2. Because the review uses these record values to rank junction quality and to attribute low external quantum efficiency to absorption cross-section or junction losses, this internal inconsistency is load-bearing. Please verify the numbers against the original source (ref 33, Mershin et al.) and correct the units and derived quantities.
  2. [Theory of electron transport in proteins in solid-state] Equation 2, presented as the Breit–Wigner transmission formula, is garbled as printed: the left-hand side reads '(𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸)' and the right-hand side '4ΓLLΓ(EE−εε0)2+(ΓL+ΓRR)2' lacks the division structure of a transmission function. The standard expression is T(E) = 4ΓLΓR / [(E−ε0)2 + (ΓL+ΓR)2]. As it stands, the equation cannot support the subsequent discussion of resonant tunneling, the form of the Lorentzian width, or the condition for perfect resonance at E = ε0. Please correct the equation and align the notation with the accompanying text.
  3. [LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTIONS] Equation 5 is announced with the sentence 'The formulation of Rabi splitting is presented in Equation 5:' but the equation itself is missing from the manuscript. The variable definitions that follow (ℏΩR, V, E0, d, ℏΩ, ϵ0, v, nph) establish the context, yet no mathematical expression is supplied. Since the review's treatment of strong coupling and Rabi splitting is one of its central themes, the omitted equation should be restored or the passage revised to cite the original formulation explicitly.
  4. [Efficiency of junctions in oriented PSII electrochemical devices and PSII plasmon section] The manuscript reports 'approximately 14 A/cm2' for a histag-oriented PSII monolayer (oriented PSII section) and '130 mA cm-2' for spinach PSII attached to 25 nm Au nanoparticles in the PSII plasmon section. Both values are orders of magnitude above the range typical of single-monolayer photosynthetic protein photocurrents and are internally inconsistent with the cited references (Badura et al., ref 79, and Shoyhet et al., ref 114). If the intended units are μA/cm2 or mA/cm2 on other scales, the text must be corrected, because these numbers are used to compare junction efficiencies and to assess the magnitude of plasmonic enhancement.
minor comments (6)
  1. [Abstract] In the Abstract, 'relatively new and existing field' should read 'relatively new and exciting field,' and 'levering' should be 'leveraging.'
  2. [Introduction] In the Introduction, 'phi -phi interactions' should be written as 'π–π interactions.'
  3. [Fabricating oriented PSI in solid-state devices] In the 'Fabricating oriented PSI in solid-state devices' section, 'indium thin oxide (ITO)' should be 'indium tin oxide (ITO).'
  4. [Various histag sections] The histidine-tag junction sections refer to 'N2+-nitrilotriacetic acid'; the correct ion is Ni2+.
  5. [LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTIONS] In the 'LIGHT-MATTER INTERACTIONS' section, 'Rabi slitting' should be 'Rabi splitting,' and 'flour tine oxide' should be 'fluorine tin oxide' in two figure/device descriptions.
  6. [Efficiency of junctions in oriented PSI solid-state devices] The paragraph on single-PSI photocurrent in the 'Efficiency of junctions in oriented PSI solid-state devices' section contains a duplicated sentence that should be removed.

Review is largely self-contained; one post-hoc fitted ET-rate estimate in the PSI–GaAs junction example.

  1. fitted input called prediction [Efficiency of junctions in oriented PSI solid-state devices (PSI–GaAs example, after Eq. 1)]
    "electrons were transmitted from the light-exited P700 to the n-type GaAs semiconductor surface at approximately 1 picoseconds. This ET rate is significantly faster than the microsecond expected for this distance, according to Equation (1). It is hypothesized that the presence of tryptophan pair W622B and W651A located between P700 and n-GaAs shortens the effective distance to 8 Å."

    The measured 1 ps electron-transfer time is the target datum, not an independent prediction. At the crystallographic 15 Å distance, Equation 1 yields a microsecond rate, so the text invokes an unmeasured 'effective distance' of 8 Å—chosen because the tryptophans lie between P700 and the surface—and then reports that Equation 1 'estimated' a ps rate. Once the distance parameter is adjusted to match the known 1 ps value, the resulting ps estimate is forced by construction: the model output is determined by the input it is claimed to reproduce. This is a post-hoc fit presented as a theoretical estimate of junction efficiency, rather than a derivation of the rate from independently fixed parameters.

full rationale

The paper is a review, and its central conclusions about plasmon-enhanced absorption, fluorescence, photocurrent, and the absorption-cross-section/junction bottleneck are supported by a mixture of the authors' own published measurements and many independent studies (e.g., Gordiichuk et al., Yao et al., Niroomand et al., Pamu et al., Friebe et al., Mersch et al.), so those claims do not reduce to the paper's own inputs. The numerous self-citations (refs 29, 46, 49, 51, 105, 106, 110) report peer-reviewed experimental results and are not circular by themselves. The one concrete circular step is the PSI–GaAs electron-transfer discussion, where Equation 1 is used to 'estimate' the ps rate only after the effective distance is adjusted to 8 Å precisely to reproduce the already-measured 1 ps rate. That is a fitted input called a prediction, but it is an ancillary rationalization rather than the load-bearing support for the review's main claims, giving a score of 4 rather than 6.

Assumptions & free parameters 0 free parameters · 3 assumptions · 0 invented entities

The review's conclusions rest on imported theoretical models and on the authors' own prior experimental reports. No free parameters are fit in this paper, and no new entities are introduced. The key burden is that the transport models from solution-phase protein ET are assumed to remain valid in dry solid-state junctions.

assumptions (3)
  • domain assumption Moser-Dutton relation for electron transfer rate (log10 k_et = 13 - 0.6(R-3.6) - 3.1(DeltaG+lambda)^2/lambda) is valid for the protein systems discussed.
    Invoked in 'Theory of electron transport in proteins in solution' as Equation 1 to estimate ET rates for PSI-GaAs and to argue that the ps timescale requires tryptophan-mediated tunneling.
  • domain assumption Landauer-Breit-Wigner transmission model (Eq. 2) describes current through solid-state protein junctions.
    Invoked in 'Theory of electron transport in proteins in solid-state' to assert that temperature-independent current in azurin and PSI indicates tunneling; this is the theoretical backbone of junction efficiency claims.
  • domain assumption Strong coupling and Rabi splitting formalism applies to photosynthetic pigment-plasmon systems.
    Invoked in 'Light-matter interactions' to explain enhanced absorption and fluorescence; the equation is announced as Eq. 5 but not actually printed.

The interaction of light with photosynthetic proteins is an extremely efficient process and has been thoroughly investigated. However, exploring light-matter interactions in hybrid nano-solid-photosynthetic proteins is a relatively new and existing field of research. The properties of these hybrid materials significantly influence the energy levels, non-radiative energy transfer, absorption, and fluorescence of the photosynthetic proteins upon interaction with light. There is special interest in levering these light-matter interactions for applications such as photo-sensing and converting light energy to electricity. The development of efficient devices requires the formation of a junction for oriented attachment, facilitating efficient energy and electronic transfer between the solids and the proteins. This review will outline the major advancements in solid-state photosynthetic protein devices, elucidate the underlying mechanism, and assess electron transfer efficiency. Furthermore, it will explore and analyze the effect of plasmons on the enhancement of absorption, fluorescence, and photocurrent in hybrid devices.
