摘要

Recently published experiments by Zhou et al. describe a hybrid photocatalysis-biodegradation reactor ("ICPB") for treating water contaminated with recalcitrant organic compounds. One particular aspect of their work is scrutinized herein, within the context of what I believe to be a flawed body of work, with contributions from several groups. The paper perpetuates poorly supported claims of upconversion-sensitized photocatalysis involving erbium-doped phosphors, the implications of which likely misguided the interpretation of their results. The novel aspect of the Zhou et al. paper was the use of visible light irradiation and a visible light-active photocatalytic system in the ICPB. A TiO_2/YAlO_3:Er~(3+) composite material was used, which allegedly converted visible wavelengths to UV radiation via upconversion; these UV photons were then implicated in photocatalytic degradation of phenol by the TiO_2 component. Based on existing literature, however, I believe that YAlO_3:Er~(3+) is not capable of emitting significant amounts of UV via upconversion under their experimental conditions. The appearance of this claim in ES&T gives undue validation to similar misguided claims regarding the efficiency of visible-to-UV upconversion materials, which have appeared in lower impact journals over the past 9 years. Herein, the past literature on YAlO_3:Er~(3+) upconversion is summarized and an alternative explanation for the behavior of the ICPB is offered.
