  • Photoelectrocatalytic method and photoelectrochemical detector for electrochemical analysis
    Patent number: 7438853
    Abstract: A photoelectrocatalytic method for detecting current that illuminates a photoelectrochemical electrode to generate a photocurrent and to magnify the current. Thereby, accuracy of the detection is increased. A photoelectrochemical detector used in the method has a base (10), a cover (20) pivotally mounted on the base (10) and a locking device attached between the base (10) and the cover (20). The base (10) has a top and a recess (12) defined in the top to accommodate a working electrode (50) with a photoelectrochemical inner lead (52). A spacer is clamped between the base (10) and the cover (20) to form a space over the inner lead (52). Multiple channels and a light hole (22) are defined through the cover (20) to communicate with the space. Therefore, the inner lead is illuminated through the light hole (22) to perform the photoelectrochemical method.
