This paper presents results from a new donor-acceptor material using easily available and renewable organic material. The new material was developed and tested using an idea of a new electron transfer mechanism using combined chlorophyll and ferrocene as the bulk-hetero junction active layer. This research aims to produce a binding between the chlorophyll molecule and the protein substitute using ferrocene so that the theory of electron transfer can be tested. The main objective of the research is to produce electricity from the new donor-acceptor material. It is observed that open-circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), fill factor (FF) and the efficiency (η) of the device were 0.1665V, 0.005A, 0.645 and 0.13%, respectively.
