In addition to specialty chemicals and wastewater treatment, photochemical pathways can also be used for methanol production [5], N2 fixation [6], and CO2

• . Photochemistry spans a number of reactions. For organic chemistry, 8000 photoreactions have been listed since 1975 [1]. Despite the huge portfolio, there is a lack of industrial applications of photochemistry. Van Gerven et al. listed five industrial applications of photochemistry in commercial wastewater
