| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel photocatalytic microreactor was developed, which comprised two stacked channels divided by a metal plate immobilizing a photocatalyst. By the light irradiation to the photocatalyst channel, the photo-induced electrons were transferred through a metal plate to the other channel, and the oxidation and reduction proceeded in the separated channels. The microreactor with stacked channels was built and the oxidation of citric acid in the photocatalyst channel and the reduction of Fe3+ ions in the metal channel were carried out. The production of Fe2+ in the metal channel demonstrated the feasibility of this microreactor. The preparation of TiO2 nanotube/Ti plates by anodic oxidation and their application to photocatalytic microreactor was also studied.
