Popis: DSSC assembled with purified R-phycoerythrin show acceptable efficiency conversion values, especially when extracted from Palmaria decipiens. They showed up to 0.12 % conversion efficiency values. Adsorption of the protein onto the electrode surface plays a relevant role in DSSC performance impacting on the performance. The use of dyes easily obtained in a place as Antarctica is an alternative to explore to solve the energy issue.
