	<span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Experiments
described in this paper show that there is the photoconductive effect of
liquid, </span><i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">i.e.</span></i><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> when light shines into a
sort of alkali, acid or salt solution, the conductivity of the solution will
increase. The mechanism of the effect is explained as follows. When hydrated
ions in the solution absorb photons with their high enough energies, they will
decompose to naked ions and water-molecules. </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">The naked ions can </span></span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">reach</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> an anode or a cathode more easily and
faster than the hydrated ions</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">; It is possible that when a molecule in the solution
absorbs a photon with its high enough energy, it will decompose to negative and
positive ions. Based on the effect, a device producing hydrogen by the
solar-energy had been devised.</span>
