A Simple Microplate Assay for Accelerated Photocatalytic Activity Evaluation.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalysis has been extensively studied for its potential to harness abundant sunlight energy, yet exploration has been limited by the time and effort required for performance evaluation. To screen candidate materials, including the elements across the entire periodic table, throughput must be improved while minimizing labor. In this study, we introduce a simple, labor-saving, high-throughput assay for evaluating photocatalyst activity utilizing a 96-well microplate. The protocol provides a streamlined workflow that encompasses weighing, microplate preparation, light irradiation, spectroscopic measurement, and reaction rate analysis. Importantly, this protocol removes the bottleneck of separating photocatalyst powders from the dye solution throughout the cycles of light irradiation and
