In this paper the phenomenon of inorganic substances deposited onto the bilayer lipid membrane is described. Metallic copper and semiconducting compounds such as CuS, FeS, CdS and also AgBr were deposited onto the bilayer lipid membrane. The cyclic voltammetry technique was used for determining electrochemical and photoelectrical properties of coated membranes. Considerable increase of stability and drastic changes of membrane properties were observed. Also investigated were the photoelectrical properties of bilayer lipid membrane with dispersed CdSe or AgBr particles in the absence and presence of pigments.
