Abstract

In recent years, environmental cleanup has been one of the most active areas in heterogeneous photocatalysis. In this article, we describe a simple and useful parallel photochemical reactor to study the photodecomposition reactions with catalyst under visible-light irradiation. This apparatus can be easily set up and used in the high-school education or an undergraduate laboratory for experiments on the study of environmentally relevant photocatalysis.
