Lecture
This lecture covers measurement and reporting protocols for heterogeneous photocatalysis, including thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, and photocatalysis for overall water splitting. It discusses the collaboration of the CATEC team from the University of Tokyo, emphasizing the importance of standardized protocols for improved efficiency and reproducibility. The lecture also delves into the principles of photocatalytic and photosynthetic reactions, microphotoelectrochemical cells, and the optimization of cocatalyst loading. It highlights the significance of incident photon flux measurement, optimal rate determination, and product detection for accurate performance evaluation in photocatalytic processes.
