| Abstract | A hybrid photoelectrochemical biofuel cell employing the photoanode architecture of a dye-sensitized solar cell has been assembled. A porphyrin dye sensitizes a TiO2 semiconductor over the visible range to beyond 650 nm. Photoinduced charge separation at the dye–TiO2 interface results in electron migration to a cathode, and the holes generated on surface bound dyes oxidize soluble electron mediators. The increased [Ox] : [Red] ratio of the mediator drives the solution-based enzymatic oxidation of appropriate substrates. In this report we investigate how the accumulation of anodic and cathodic products limits cell performance. The NAD+/NADH and benzoquinone/hydroquinone redox couples were studied as sacrificial electron donors in the absence of appropriate enzymes or substrates. Comparatively poor cell performance was observed using the benzoquinone/hydroquinone couple. This effect is explained in terms of rapid charge recombination by electron donation from the electrode to benzoquinone in solution, as compared to much less recombination with NAD+. With the NAD+/NADH couple the cell performance is relatively independent of the redox poise of the anode solution, but limited by accumulation of reduction products in the cathodic compartment. Using the NAD+/NADH couple, the photochemical reforming of ethanol to hydrogen was demonstrated under conditions where the process would be endergonic in the dark. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
