What are some examples of catalytic processes in optical devices?
One notable example is the use of photocatalysis in the purification of water and air. Photocatalysts, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), are activated by light to produce reactive species that can break down pollutants. Another example is in the field of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). Catalysts are used to synthesize the organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is applied.
