%X Recently, Noda and collaborators at Kyoto University reported possible enhancement of photo-voltaic cell (PVC) energy conversion efficiency by allowing penetration of preferential range of wavelength components alone to PVC by filtering the solar beam through a special semiconductor thin film developed at their laboratory. During the course of our recent experimental attempts ofnitridingd-group transition metals in N2 gas environment, we detected intriguing effects of colour-filtering on reaction product. In the present report, these effects of colour-filtering are reviewed under new light of recently reported evidence by Noda and co-workers. It appears that, by colour-filtering the selected wavelength range in solar beam, undesirable secondary reactions might be suppressed to result in promotion of a target reaction under heating using concentrated solar beam as the source of reaction heat.
