I have evaluated photocatalysts by analyzing photoacoustic spectra. During master course, I focused on the importance of energy resolved measurement of electron-trap density in particulate photocatalysts, and I developed reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy (RDB-PAS) as a new analytical method employing the direct excitation of electrons from valence band to electron traps. During doctor course, I have been trying to elucidate the mechanism of photocatalytic reactions based on energy distribution of electron-trap density as a kinetic parameter of photocatalysis and broaden employment of RDB-PAS as an important analytical method. Therefore, fundamental properties of functional inorganic materials used for various environmental applications, such as not only photocatalysis, dye sensitized solar cells, catalysis, and fuel cells, can be obtained. I will also try to employ energy-resolved distribution of electron-trap density as a finger print for identifying metal oxide particles like NMR patterns for identifying organic molecules.
