METHOD OF PHOTOCATALYTICALLY IONIZING COMPOUND DIODE USED THEREFOR

Title:

METHOD OF PHOTOCATALYTICALLY IONIZING COMPOUND DIODE USED THEREFOR

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JPS5990368

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

Chemical compounds can be dissociated by contacting the same with a p/n type semi-conductor diode having visible light as its sole source of energy. The diode consists of low cost, readily available materials, specifically polycrystalline iron oxide doped with silicon in the case of the n-type semi-conductor electrode, and polycrystalline iron oxide doped with magnesium in the case of the p-type electrode. So long as the light source has an energy greater than 2.2 electron volts, no added energy source is needed to achieve dissociation.
