چکیده
We report emergence of a new electrical material by growing photosynthetic biofilm on a Dirac material, graphene. The material showed new conducting as well as semiconducting properties. Frequency dependent capacitive spectra further indicated presence of electrical isosbestic points(at 0.8 and 9MHz), implying two state dieletric transitions at critical frequencies. A notable reult was a Schottky diode like behavior in the IV curve. Voltage dependent conductance with conductance peaks near the Schottky diode threshold was observed. We obtained facilitated growth of photosynthetic biofilm in presence of graphene. Lastly higher bacterial metabolism i was seen in the biofilm in 1 peer-reviewed) is the author/funder.

متن کاملQuantum modeling of light absorption in graphene based photo-transistors
Graphene based optical devices are highly recommended and interested for integrated optical circuits. As a main component of an optical link, a photodetector based on graphene nano-ribbons is proposed and studied. A quantum transport model is presented for simulation of a graphene nano-ribbon (GNR) -based photo-transistor based on non-equilibrium Green’s function method. In the proposed model a...
متن کاملUltrafast Lateral Photo-Dember Effect in Graphene Induced by Nonequilibrium Hot Carrier Dynamics.
The photo-Dember effect arises from the asymmetric diffusivity of photoexcited electrons and holes, which creates a transient spatial charge distribution and hence the buildup of a voltage. Conventionally, a strong photo-Dember effect is only observed in semiconductors with a large asymmetry between the electron and hole mobilities, such as in GaAs or InAs, and is considered negligible in graph...
متن کاملIn-situ synthesis and characterization of reduced graphene oxide –Ag nanocomposites
Reduced graphene oxide(rGO)–silver(Ag) nanocomposites have been prepared by using solution based facile one-pot synthesis process. The reaction process involves high-temperature liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite oxide and silver acetate in presence of N-N’dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent, resulting in simultaneous formation of rGO as well as Ag nanoparticles. Different nanocomposites have bee...
متن کاملCo-assembly of photosystem II/reduced graphene oxide multilayered biohybrid films for enhanced photocurrent.
A new type of biohybrid photo-electrochemical cell was fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly of photosystem II and reduced graphene oxide. We demonstrate that the photocurrent in the direct electron transfer is enhanced about two fold with improved stability. The assembly strategy without any cross-linker or additional electron mediators makes the cell fabrication and operation much simpler as ...
