An optoelectronic device is disclosed. The device comprises one or more modified photocatalytic units, and a semiconductor surface. The modified photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface such that when light is absorbed by the photocatalytic unit, an electric field is generated at sufficient amount to induce charge carrier locomotion within the semiconductor. In some embodiments a plurality of photocatalytic unit is attached to the semiconductor surface in oriented manner. The optoelectronic device can be operative in dry environment.

Optoelectronic device and method of fabricating the same

A modified isolated polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence encoding a photocatalytic unit of a photosynthetic organism being capable of covalent attachment to a solid surface and having a photocatalytic activity when attached thereto is disclosed.
