A recombinant allophycocyanin trimer was successfully immobilized on a mesoporous TiO₂ electrode. The formation of the immobilized surface was confirmed bymultilayer adsorption of protein complexes. The key biophotovoltaic parameters were obtained, which showed that the recombinant allophycocyanin trimer could be a candidate for photosensitizer materials. The values of short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, fill factor, and conversion efficiency were up to 0.73 mA/cm², 0.52 V, 0.69, and 0.26%, respectively.
