Bio-inspired Green Power: A Thermocurrent Generator

Recently, there is a developing trend of using renewable bio-based materials as an energy storing device. Biomaterials are environmentally friendly as they do not contain chemical products, they operate silently due to the lack mechanical structures and/or moving parts. Throughout the present paper, we have theoretically modeled a photosynthetic system attached to the quantum thermostat. The results determine creating the thermocurrent and the corresponding electrical potential up to 0.3 V. The temperature gradient effect has been investigated since the temperature has a key role in the system performance. To ensure that the system is stable and shows the delocalized behavior in these characteristic points, the level spacing distribution P(s) and multifractal $$f({\alpha })$$ analysis have been investigated too. The Poisson behavior of P(s) and wide $$f({\alpha })$$ represent the stable and delocalized photosynthesis complex. Also, the Seebeck coefficient which can quantify the thermoelectric effect is about 5 mV/K for our chlorosome based thermophore.
