Biomolecule cytochrome C absorbed to multiwall carbon nanotubes can form interface heterojunctions for high efficiency exciton dissociation, photo–electron transfer, and transport with high mobility. The extraordinary external quantum efficiency up to 38.2% obtained in the cytochrome C/nanotube infrared detectors illustrates that these photonic nanohybrids are promising for room temperature quantum optoelectronics. The work presented by Y. P. Gong, J. Wu, and co‐workers in article number 1600478 opens up a new potential direction through nanoscale interface design for exploration of high‐performance, low‐cost, and flexible carbonbased optoelectronic nanohybrids.
