The last sentence in this wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatom claims that "It has also been proposed that diatoms could be used as a component of solar cells, by substituting photosensitive titanium dioxide for the silicon dioxide normally used in the creation of cell walls." However, I could not open the reference EE article it cites.

Does anyone know if this is actually possible? which approach would be the ideal one?
