"chlorophyll" as is used in plants, is essentially a pentagon of oxygen atoms, with 4 hydrogen atoms stuffed into the corners, forming a ring with a single magnesium atom in the very center.
around this is a shell of hydrogen, surrounded by a shell of carbon.
forming the center of the chloroplast.

from here there is a chain of hydroxic acids that transmit electricity from the chloroplast to the circuit-center of that portion of the leaf. where the electricity is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

a single photon enters into the ring, passes through the ionized magnesium, and increases its energy level which triggers it to gain an electron (from the electrolysis), then immediately decays back to its normal level and releases said electron into the electrical circuit, to further the electrolysis process and gives the plant lots of carbon and hydrogen, with-which to grow.

if you separate these chloroplasts ( through a sort of extract), prepare them into a mixture, and some of them randomly wind up facing in the right direction when applied to the cell.....

provided you are able to substantiate a proper contact to one side of the chloroplasts, and that your extraction process did not destroy the cells....

it sounds pheasable....

if anyone figures out a way to successfully extract chlorophyll without destroying it, i'll replicate some test cells here.
I was fixing a shower-rod, slipped and hit my head on the sink. When i came to, that's when i had the idea for the "Flux Capacitor", Which makes Perpetual Motion possible.

as i understand it, dyes are rather bulky molecules ...perhaps an inkjet printer could be utilized to perform as a printing mechanism?

@sm0key2,
That is a very good description.
I think the quick test on any destruction of the chlorophyll is the brown that you find on grass stains. It is the giveaway that the chloroplasts have broken up.
Also, be careful NOT to freeze it during your work to extract the chloroplasts in tact.

My bet is that the chlorophyll that survives the drying and epoxy is going to remain photosensitive.

Most natural dyes  (mostly being flavonoids) lose their color upon exposure to light.
This means yes they are active, but the electrons are not being replenished.
So, these could stop working.
I therefore think the chlorophyll is the best bet for a single compound.

Otherwise you will need to make a 2 part compound like the efforts in the other diy cheap solar thread.

It is too rainy and too cold for me to try this, maybe we have some folks down under who can try it?

I Suggest looking at nature for choosing the plant to extract from.

For example:

Grass: Never gets real direct sunlight on the leaves.. Always "dimmed" due to neighbours and standing upright postion. So I guess this will decade quick in direct full sunlight.

Cactus: Can stand in sun all day, so better resistant Chlorophyll

Vern: Grows in shadows.. So light absorbing factor is much higher

Waterlily: Used to fluidsubmerging

Etc   etc

Maybe a mix or a few tests will provide a more sustaining chlorophyll

Out of the box: Anyone ever considered keeping the leaf alive?

I think keeping the leaf alive would not be practical but you could stick the leaf in sugar water.It would live a little longer.Cactus has a real tough waxy skin but there are two general types of chlorophyll(A and B).Both are green as far as I know.Plants have skins too.Ranging from thin to thick.triffid
