A novel photocatalytic microreactor bundle that does not require an electric power source.
A new type of photocatalytic reactor was developed. Capillaries coated on the inside with photocatalytic materials induced an effective photocatalytic reaction by pulling up a solution under the action of capillary forces; no electric pump was required for the replacement of the chemicals, due to the concentration gradient generated in the capillaries.
