Methylene blue and purple thionine looked promising. Whereas chlorophyll combines water and carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of light, these pigments transform ferrous sulfate [Fe (SO4)] into ferric sulfate [Fe2 (SO4)3]. The ferrous compound consists of two "ions"-a positively charged iron atom linked with a negative sulfate unit. Under the influence of these pigments and light, the ions regroup themselves into the ferric form-two positive units linked with three negative units. And in the dark this reaction reverses itself. Regrouping of the ions upsets the electrical balance of the solution, creating electrical potentials...

And if you're inclined to murmur "propaganda...
