Photoactive inorganic CdS quantum dots (QDs) or the native photosystem I (PSI) is immobilized onto a pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) monolayer linked to Au electrodes to yield hybrid relay/QDs (or photosystem) assemblies. By the electrochemical biasing of the electrode potential, the relay units are retained in their oxidized PQQ or reduced PQQH(2) states. The oxidized or reduced states of the relay units dictate the direction of the photocurrent (anodic or cathodic). By the cyclic biasing of the electrode potential between the values E >= - 0.05 V and E
