Template for controlled, uniform, and self-assembling nanocrystal synthesis Ferroxidase center captures loose metal ions and reattaches them to the nanocrystal Can be deposited in ordered arrays on a substrate

Matsui, et al Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., 46, L713-15

Single junction photovoltaic cells are subject to the Shockley-Quieisser limit of 33.7% efficiency. Layered PV cells of multiple band gaps have reached efficiencies of 44%.

Control With ferritin Blank, solution with no ferritin Optical absorption spectroscopy: Transmitted power through the sample is compared to a control to get percent transmitted as a function of wavelength After some mathematical analysis, linear fits are extrapolated to the x-axis to find the band gap For a more detailed description, see: J.S. Colton, S.D. Erickson, T.J. Smith, and R.K. Watt, Nanotechnology (2014)
