Abstract
According to the present disclosure, a photoelectrochemical cell for wastewater treatment is disclosed. A method of fabricating such a photoelectrochemical cell is also disclosed.
Claims28
A photoelectrochemical cell for wastewater treatment comprising
- at least one cathode and at least one anode, wherein the anode comprises a material configured for an anodic oxidation reaction in the presence of the wastewater, wherein at least one of the anode and cathode comprises an optically pervious material,
- the cathode configured for cooperating with the anode to drive one or more cathodic reduction reactions in the presence of the wastewater, and
- wherein the anode and the cathode are disposed to allow irradiation of at least a portion of a space between the anode and the cathode by a light source through the optically pervious material to activate at least one photon based reaction in the wastewater.

A method of fabricating a photoelectrochemical cell, the method comprising
- providing at least one cathode and at least one anode, wherein the anode comprises a material configured for an anodic oxidation in the presence of the wastewater, wherein at least one of the anode and cathode comprises an optically pervious material,
- configuring the cathode for cooperating with the anode to drive one or more cathodic reduction reactions in the presence of the wastewater, and
- disposing the anode and the cathode to allow irradiation of at least a portion of a space between the anode and the cathode by a light source through the optically pervious material to activate at least one photon based reaction in the wastewater.
