Patent

CA 2517731

A photocatalytic reactor, capable of generating an electric current by consumption of a fuel containing organic material, comprises a direct oxidation fuel cell including an anode and a cathode, wherein the anode is a photocatalysis-assisted anode which comprises a photocatalyst on a surface of an electrically-conductive substrate so arranged as to be receptive to light, and a light-transmissive proton-conductive membrane arranged between said anode and the cathode, such that light passes through said membrane as a final stage in the optical path to the photocatalyst, the said photocatalyst being capable of promoting the oxidation of organic material and generating electron- hole pairs, said reactor being configured to support multiple cells in a stacked array, is provided with means for introducing said fuel and means for connection to an external electrical circuit.

Un réacteur photocatalytique, capable de générer un courant électrique par consommation d'une matière organique contenant un combustible, comprend une pile à combustible à oxydation directe comprenant une anode et une cathode, l'anode est une anode assistée par photocatalyse laquelle comprend un photocatalyseur sur une surface d'un substrat électroconducteur agencée de manière à recevoir la lumière, et une membrane conductrice de protons transmettant la lumière agencée entre ladite anode et ladite cathode, de telle manière que la lumière passe à travers ladite membrane à la manière d'un étage final dans le chemin optique jusqu'au photocatalyseur, ledit photocatalyseur étant capable de favoriser l'oxydation de matière organique et de générer des paires de trous d'électrons, ledit réacteur étant configuré pour porter des cellules multiples en un réseau empilé, il est doté de moyens d'introduction dudit combustible et de moyens de connexion à un circuit électrique extérieur.
