Abstract: The photoelectro-reactors were introduced from two types of slurry photoelectro-reactor and immobile photoelectro-reactor. An effective way of modifying photo-electrode by deposition of metal and coupling of semiconductor used to improve the oxidation efficiency of immobile photoelectro–reactor was pointed out. The main factors, including light source, material, additional applied potential, solution condition and reaction atmosphere, which affected the efficiency of photoelectro-reactor were discussed. Besides, some proposals for further studies of photoelectro-reactor were presented.

摘要： 从悬浮态光电反应器及固定态光电反应器两方面介绍了光电反应器的类型，指出通过金属沉积与半导体复合对光电极进行改性是提高固定态光电反应器效率的有效途径，对影响光电反应器效率的主要因素如光源、材质、外加偏压、溶液条件及反应氛围进行了讨论，并对光电反应器未来的发展提出了一些建议。
