Highly efficient photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) reduction of Cr(VI) has been realized in the absence of semiconducting photocatalysts. In the novel-configuration cell using Ti anode, Pt cathode, Cr(VI), and citric acid, the rate constant of the PEC reduction of Cr(VI) at a bias of 1.5 V was almost 3 times than that in the conventional-configuration cell using ITO/TiO2 anode, Ti cathode, Cr(VI), and citric acid. It was mostly because the citric acid, Ti anode, and Cr(VI) formed an energy-relay cascade structure, in which the photogenerated electrons in the citric acid were transferred to the positively biased Ti and then from anode to Cr(VI), leading to the very efficient Cr(VI) reduction. We develop a simple PEC method to reduce Cr(VI) over the Ti anode sensitized by photoexcited organic dye in no need of metal oxide photocatalysts, which can be considered as an important advance towards the cost-effective, environmentally friendly treatment of waste water.
