  • Photocatalytic panel and system for recovering output products thereof
    Patent number: 8567133
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for using sunlight to convert an atmospheric gas to an output product and capture that output product. A photocatalytic element is encapsulated within a chamber in which the chamber is light transmissive, and is substantially permeable to the atmospheric gas and substantially impermeable to the output product. The photocatalytic element may be composed of a photocatalytic composition, comprising a first constituent capable of capturing or binding an atmospheric gas, a second constituent capable of reducing the atmospheric gas using energy from the sunlight, and a third constituent adapted to absorb sunlight, all combined into a single polymer. A fourth constituent may be added that is hydrophobic or hydrophilic depending upon the nature of the other three combined constituents.

  • Photocatalytic Panel and System for Recovering Output Products Thereof
    Publication number: 20130008775
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for using sunlight to convert an atmospheric gas to an output product and capture that output product. A photocatalytic element is encapsulated within a chamber of a photocatalytic panel in which the chamber is light transmissive, and is substantially permeable to the atmospheric gas and substantially impermeable to the output product. Water may be provided to the photocatalytic element to react with the atmospheric gas. A system is provided for withdrawing the output product for storage.
