ABSTRACT: A new photocatalytic activity (PC) measurement instrument based on the measurement of the photo-induced reduction of Ag ions was proposed. The feature of this system is to perform “ultraviolet irradiation for PC activation” and “Ag film thickness determination for PC evaluation” simultaneously and automatically. Realizing a PC measurement system with high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, easy operation and reproducibility, which is especially suited for the PC measurement of the coatings on transparent substrates.
