How Do Reflectors Enhance Photocatalytic Reactions?
In [photocatalysis], reflectors enhance reactions by increasing the amount of light absorbed by the catalyst. This is achieved by:
1. Increasing Light Intensity: Reflectors can focus light, increasing its intensity and thereby the energy available for catalytic reactions. 2. Improving Light Distribution: Ensuring that light is evenly distributed across the catalyst surface helps maintain consistent reaction rates. 3. Reducing Light Loss: Reflectors minimize the amount of light that escapes the reaction zone, ensuring more energy is available for catalysis.
