How Is Light Intensity Controlled and Why Is It Important?
Controlling light intensity is vital for optimizing photocatalytic reactions. Light intensity can be regulated using dimmers, filters, or by adjusting the distance between the light source and the reaction vessel. Optimal light intensity ensures that the catalyst is sufficiently activated without causing excessive energy input, which can lead to side reactions or catalyst deactivation. Proper control of light intensity helps in achieving high efficiency and selectivity in catalytic processes.
