TRPL can provide several key pieces of information, including: - Excited State Lifetimes: Longer lifetimes generally indicate more efficient charge separation, which is beneficial for photocatalytic reactions. - Recombination Dynamics: Understanding whether recombination is radiative or non-radiative can help in optimizing the material for specific catalytic applications. - Defect and Trap States: The presence of defects can often be detrimental to catalytic performance, and TRPL can help identify these states.
