Abstract

In this contribution, a simple method for the screening of photocatalytic activity of catalyst materials is presented. The method is based on two steps: the immobilization of the photocatalyst and the subsequent testing of their photocatalytic activity, using the gas evolution at the solid-liquid interface. Up to four catalysts can be tested under the same conditions. The observed gas evolution for selected photocatalysts is consistent with trends reported in the literature from conventional photocatalytic reactors.
