Classification: CPC C  Y | IPC C

Claim 0:
1. A system, comprising:
a light source configured to emit light at a wavelength;
a cathode disposed radially around or parallel to the light source;
a photocatalyst anode disposed radially around or parallel to the cathode and configured to be illuminated by the light source, and presenting a photocatalytic surface to the light emitted by the light source;
a power source electronically connected to the photocatalyst anode and the cathode and configured to apply a positive charge to the photocatalyst anode and a negative charge to the cathode creating a bias between the cathode and the photocatalyst anode; and
the photocatalyst anode and the cathode being configured to have a fluid therebetween, wherein the fluid contains one or more pollutants which are degraded when the photocatalyst anode is illuminated,
wherein the light source illuminates the photocatalyst anode to excite electron-hole pairs in the photocatalyst anode; and
wherein the cathode allows light to penetrate and excite the photocatalyst anode.
