The invention discloses a differential automatic test system for photocatalytic reaction, which comprises a reaction part, a circulation part, a pressure control part, a temperature control part and a measurement control part. The reaction part comprises a magnetic stirrer, a reactor, a xenon light source and the like; the circulation part comprises a gas circulation pump, a spherical glass condenser tube, a gas chromatography, a reactor, a pneumatic pipe and the like; the pressure control part comprises a gas mass flowmeter, a flow stabilizing valve, a digital pressure gauge, a vacuum pump and the like; the temperature control part comprises a constant-temperature circulation pump, a reactor temperature control jacket, a spherical glass condenser tube and the like; and the measurement control part comprises a continuous analyzer, a gas chromatography, a data acquisition board, a computer and the like. The system is used for photocatalytic hydrogen production test, and adopts carrier gas to bring out gas products in the reactor, thereby realizing the differential measurement. Moreover, the reaction temperature and the reaction pressure can be set, the instant hydrogen production rate in the photocatalytic reaction can be accurately and promptly obtained, and the system can be used in the test of photocatalytic reaction with involvement or production of other kinds of gases.
