<p>The invention relates to an apparatus, and aspects thereof, and a method for the decomposition of organic material and/or micro-organisms in a solution. The apparatus and the method concerns the provision and irradiation of a semiconductor material in the presence of an applied voltage so as to ensure that electrons liberated by a photochemical reaction are transported away from the semiconductor material, so aiding decomposition of the organic material and/or micro-organisms. Further the invention concerns the use of a thermally formed semiconductor film and/or an aerogel semiconductor film for the decomposition of organic material and/or micro-organisms; and also the use of a doped semiconductor film.</p>
