The highest photocurrent to date on a bare metal electrode is reported by R. N. Frese and co‐workers. Plasmon‐enhanced light harvesting in a photosynthetic pigment protein on a nanoporous silver substrate results in record photocurrents up to 416 μA cm −2 , representing a breakthrough in the field of biohybrid photoelectrodes. This is significant for the development of potential bioelectronic devices such as biohybrid solar cells and biosensors.
