What Are the Challenges Associated with UV Light in Catalysis?
Despite its benefits, there are challenges in using UV light for catalytic processes:
Material Stability: Prolonged exposure to UV light can degrade some catalysts, reducing their effectiveness over time. Energy Efficiency: UV light sources can be energy-intensive, potentially offsetting the environmental benefits. Limited Penetration: UV light has limited penetration depth, which can restrict its applicability in certain reaction environments.
