Synergetic Photoelectrocatalytic Reactors for Environmental Remediation: a Review

In this study, photoelectrocatalysis and associated novel reactor designs reported in recent years are reviewed and discussed. Some of the topics which are discussed in this study include various reactor configurations with different illumination sources, photocatalyst utilization modes, and electrodes as well as composite systems incorporating solar cells in addition to microbial and photocatalytic fuel cells. Future efforts are suggested to push the industrial application of photoelectrocatalysis out of its infancy.
