【 摘 要 】

This short review paper shows some misconceptions hidden in the discussion on the mechanism of heterogeneous photocatalysis, which may lead to fatal errors in conclusions. Topics described in this review are semiconductor photocatalysis, control experiments for proof of photocatalysis, and converse-proposition pitfalls in discussion.
