What Role Does Light Source Positioning Play in Catalysis?
The positioning of the light source relative to the catalytic reactor significantly impacts the effectiveness of the catalytic process. Uniform illumination ensures consistent activation of the catalyst, leading to uniform reaction rates. Conversely, uneven illumination can result in hotspots and cold zones, affecting the overall reaction efficiency. Therefore, strategic positioning and the use of reflectors or light guides can enhance the performance of photocatalytic systems.
