Dual-film optofluidic microreactor with enhanced light-harvesting for photocatalytic applications

摘要: Abstract Optofluidic microreactors are promising platform for photocatalytic reactions. However, the light transmission phenomenon is serious in optofluidic which makes a part of solar energy lose surroundings. To resolve this problem, work, novel dual-film microreactor proposed and fabricated by immobilizing TiO2 nanorod arrays on both top bottom internal wall microchamber. Such structure enables transmitted to be utilized film instead being wasted, thus improving light-harvesting capacity microreactor. Moreover, employed as enlarge specific surface area facilitate mass transfer. The performance kinetic properties evaluated degradation methylene blue. Results show that yielded much higher efficiency than conventional one result enhanced improved In addition, long-term testing proves durability can operating it periodically rotated manner. short, arrays-based exhibits efficient high shows potential applications.
