Recent progress in the quantitative assessment and interpretation of photoactivity

The development of the photo-catalysis field is limited by a deficient quantitative assessment photo-activity. interplay between mass and momentum transport together with radiative transfer phenomena taking place at any photo-catalytic reaction or process makes complex such assessment. To reach this goal, review studies measurement, meaning, analysis three types observables. first family observables has rate closely connected as turnover frequency central pieces. second owns so-called efficiency observables, starting from photonic yield quantum ending in global process. Finally, kinetic constant contribution focusses on most rencet analyzing these terms their (adequate) measurement conditions physico-chemical interpretation, order to unveil full potential context field.
