This work will present the utilization of a light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS) in combination with a microfluidic set-up, for the flexible adjustment of the size, the shape and the location of sensor spots at operation time.
According to the light sensitivity of the photo-Fenton reaction with respect to the solar spectrum, the utilization of a solar light source is considered to be very economic alternative as compared to UV lamps for treatment of wastewater at a full scale (Nogueira et al. 2012; Luna et al. 2013).
However, titania is hampered by a wide band gap, low utilization of solar light and a rapid recombination of electron/hole pairs.
Therefore, the carbon nanodots/WO3 nanocomposites may represent a new strategy for the full-spectrum utilization of solar light, providing an invaluable methodology for the remediation of current water-pollution issues.
This would allow for a maximum utilization of the light spectrum by microalgae.
This was attributed to the multiplex phenomena such as an enhanced utilization of visible light, efficient electron transfer in the noble metal-doped GT nanojunctions and interfacial electron transfer in the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets, as evidenced by UV vis and PL characterizations.
The narrower bandgap of CdS than that of TiO2 facilitates the utilization of visible light, which makes CdS a competitive candidate as photocatalyst.
In combination with the utilization of different incident light illuminations, the light intensity dynamics and the light/dark cycles subjected by the microorganisms can be controlled such that an optimal photobioreactor design with a high efficiency of light utilization and a high formation rate of the biochemical products can be realized.
The capture and utilization of light is an exquisitely evolved process.
The photosynthetic utilization of light energy requires a machinery organized in a structural and functional hierarchy from molecules through protein complexes to entire organisms [1].
This approach enhances the utilization of visible light in photocatalytic activity and suggests a new fluorescent coating platform.
