What Are the Common Light Sources Used in Photocatalysis?
Common light sources used in photocatalysis include UV lamps, Xenon lamps, and LEDs. Each source has a specific wavelength range. UV lamps are commonly used with photocatalysts like TiO2 because they provide the necessary energy to excite the electrons. LEDs are being increasingly used due to their energy efficiency and the ability to produce specific wavelengths.
