<p>Apparatus suitable for use as a solar energy collector, the apparatus comprising a closed loop through which, in use, an aqueous solution can be circulated and be impinged upon by incident sunlight; means for circulating the aqueous solution around the closed loop; an inlet for introducing reactants into the closed loop; at least one unit in which the aqueous solution can be subjected to a chemical reaction, the said unit being interposed in the closed loop in a manner such that the said solution can flow through the unit; and an outlet for withdrawing products from the closed loop. The use of such apparatus to perform the photochemical oxidation of water to give oxygen and a reduced electron acceptor which acts as a store of energy is also described.</p> |
