The impact of additives will be more easily understood/predicted using a experimental protocol to characterize polymer coatings that could be of high interest for other protein-based technological fields on catalysis, electrical conductors, etc.;
Fluorescent protein stability in organic solvents has been limited to <24 h and we have shown that a sol-gel chemistry is effective (1 year stable), but limits application by the nature of the silica shell (dielectric, scattering events, etc.). This could be solved if other semiconducting metal oxides are applied.
in-situ sol-gel chemistry on metal oxide electrodes could also be effective to provide protein-solar cells with enhanced stabilities in which the prior-art showed stabilities of a few second to minutes.
