Controlling the direction of photocurrents by means of CdS nanoparticles and cytochrome c-mediated biocatalytic cascades.
Cathodic or anodic photocurrents are generated by a monolayer of CdS nanoparticles in the presence of the oxidized or reduced states of cytochrome c, respectively, and the photocurrents are amplified by enzyme-generated biocatalytic cascades mediated by cytochrome c.
