How Do Nanoparticles Enhance Photocatalytic Activity?
Nano-sized photocatalysts have unique physical and chemical properties that make them highly effective in photocatalytic reactions. The high surface area to volume ratio of nanoparticles provides more active sites for reactions to occur. Additionally, the quantum effects at the nanoscale can result in enhanced absorption of light and improved charge separation, both of which are critical for efficient photocatalysis.
