Özet

This study investigates the potential use of photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical reactors in underground and underwater applications for hydrogen production and wastewater treatment. The solar photons are transmitted by fibre optic cables. At the end of the present study, it is observed that the efficiency of the system is limited to the low efficiency of photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical reactors. Today's fibre optic technology provides a satisfactory performance for solar transmission. The biggest obstacle for the proposed system is the cost of fibre optic cables. It may be more suitable for the defence industry and space technology applications.
