Photocatalysis leverages the energy from light to drive chemical reactions, offering several advantages:
Environmental benefits: Using sunlight as an energy source reduces the carbon footprint of chemical processes. Energy efficiency: Photocatalysts can operate under mild conditions, reducing the need for high temperatures and pressures. Versatility: Photocatalysis can be applied to a wide range of reactions, including water splitting, pollutant degradation, and organic synthesis.
Recent advances have focused on improving the efficiency and stability of photocatalysts, expanding their applicability in various industrial processes.
