A visible‐light‐responsive photocatalyst membrane , comprising only organic materials, degrades trimethylamine, a typical volatile organic compound, to CO 2 with a quantum efficiency of ca. 40 %. The organic materials are phthalocyanine (p‐type) and a perylene derivative (n‐type), coated onto a Nafion membrane that serves as mechanical support and adsorbent material. The membrane uses natural light and ambient oxygen.
