Abstract

This invention provides a three-dimensional stacked photocatalytic apparatus with improved photocatalytic efficiency, featuring a support frame in which integrated components are pivotally connected. [Solution] The first integrated component 20 includes a first base plate 22, a first housing slot 24, and a first top plate 26. The first base plate pivots around a first pivot hole 12 of the support frame 10, the first housing slot is positioned on the first base plate and the first photocatalytic component B1 is positioned in the first housing slot, the first top plate is positioned on the first housing slot and light passes through the first top plate and the first photocatalytic component in sequence, causing the first photocatalytic component to generate gas. The first base plate rotates around the first pivot hole and is configured to adjust the irradiation angle of the first photocatalytic component by rotating the first integrated component.
