The rectangular shape of the fluidic channel and TiO2 deposited only onto the lower glass substrate leads to a selectively enhancing photocatalytic reactions by magnetic field in specific directions. Utilizing ethyl alcohol as a scavenger presented the difference between generated hot-hole (hVB+) and hot-electron (eCB−) pathways of photocatalytic reactions. Effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) and hydroxyl ions (OH−) are all demonstrated in a magnetic field-enhancing photocatalytic reaction. The experimental results demonstrate great potential for practical applications utilizing low-price fixed magnets in the field of green chemistry. |
