Abstract

In the investigation of alternative energy sources, specifically, solar hydrogen production from water, the ability to perform experiments with a consistent and reproducible light source is key to meaningful photochemistry. The design, construction, and evaluation of a series of LED array photolysis systems for high throughput photochemistry have been performed. Three array systems of increasing sophistication are evaluated using calorimetric measurements and potassium tris(oxalato)ferrate(II) chemical actinometry and compared with a traditional 1000 W Xe arc lamp source. The results are analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The third generation array is modular, and controllable in design. Furthermore, the third generation array system is shown to be comparable in both precision and photonic output to a 1000 W Xe arc lamp.
