Are There Any Experimental Techniques to Study Recombination?
Yes, several experimental techniques are used to study charge carrier recombination, including:
1. Photoluminescence Spectroscopy: Measures the light emitted due to radiative recombination, providing insights into the recombination dynamics. 2. Time-Resolved Spectroscopy: Provides temporal resolution to study the lifetimes of charge carriers. 3. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy: Helps in understanding the charge transfer processes and recombination at the catalyst surface. 4. Transient Absorption Spectroscopy: Monitors the absorption of light by excited states of the photocatalyst, giving information about charge carrier dynamics.
