What are the Challenges Associated with UV Radiation in Catalysis?
Despite its advantages, there are several challenges: - Limited Penetration: UV light has limited penetration depth, which can restrict its effectiveness in bulkier systems. - Material Degradation: Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can degrade some materials, affecting the long-term stability of the catalyst. - Energy Source: UV lamps or LEDs need to be used, which can add to the operational cost and complexity.
