1. A photocatalytic oxidation device, comprising:
a frame having a length, width, and height, with a longitudinal axis extending through the length of the frame;
a pair of cell panels disposed opposite one another across the width of the frame, an interior portion of the frame between the cell panels defining an interior chamber, the cell panels including a plurality of apertures to allow air to flow into and through the interior chamber, and at least interior surfaces of the cell panels and aperture surfaces of the cell panels including a photocatalytic material; and
an ultraviolet lamp disposed within the interior chamber and extending along the longitudinal axis,
wherein a cell fraction is equal to a combined width of the cell panels divided by a width between outer surfaces of the cell panels, and wherein the cell fraction is about 0.2 to about 0.7.
