Abstract
Non-contact electrostatic force microscopy techniques were used to study the open-circuit photovoltage of purple membrane multilayers electrodeposited on indium tin oxide. A humidity-dependent photovoltage response under illumination by a 635 nm photodiode was observed. Peak photovoltages in excess of 2 V at similar to36 W m(-2) were obtained for similar to15% relative humidity.
