How Do Nanostructured Scintillators Work in Catalysis?
The fundamental principle behind the use of nanostructured scintillators in catalysis lies in their ability to convert high-energy radiation into visible light. This emitted light can initiate or accelerate photocatalytic reactions. When integrated with catalytic materials, these scintillators can improve the efficiency of reactions by providing additional energy in the form of photons, thereby lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.
