Living biophotovoltaics generate bioelectricity by harnessing photosynthetic microorganisms, but barriers to electron transfer across the abiotic/biotic interface hinder solar-to-electricity conversion. Here, the authors report a method for boosting photocurrent by integrating the photosynthetic cyanobacteria with a conductive conjugated polyelectrolyte to form 3D living biocomposites.
