Self‐Powered Ultrasensitive Nanowire Photodetector Driven by a Hybridized Microbial Fuel Cell

An integrated system consisting of a carbon fiber–ZnO hybrid nanowire (NW) multicolor photodetector is driven by a microbial fuel cell (see picture; PMMA=poly(methyl methacrylate), E=electrode). The self-powered photodetector can detect at light levels of as little as nW cm−2 intensity with a responsivity of more than 300 A W−1.
