Figure 8

The reflection spectrum of the PSi before and after functionalization with RC (a) and light-induced photocurrent with the PSi/RC electrode in the presence of externally added UQ-0 mediator and the inhibitor terbutryn, as indicated. Traces correspond to the signal during consecutive illumination periods. Horizontal and vertical arrows, respectively, indicate the shifts in the specific reflection mode after the RC binding and the time when the illumination was switched on or off.
