Efficient photocatalytic energy harvesting for air purification and electrical generation by Wei Wei, Niansi Li, Xuhui Cao, Guoyu Zhang, Bendong Yu, Jie Ji, Xudong Zhao

“…To address this, we propose an innovative energy-harvesting approach utilizing photocatalytic interface for simultaneous indoor air purification and 24-h power generation by synergistically combining photocatalytic oxidation, thermoelectric power generation, and heat absorption/release of phase change material (PC-TEG-PCM). The photocatalytic interface effectively achieves a high pollutant removal ratio of 77% in the visible light range (<760 nm) and recovers 71.5% of solar energy, while the thermoelectric generator module reaches a maximum power generation efficiency of 0.4% under an irradiation of 1,000 W/m2. …”
