How do Photochemical Reactions Work in Nanotechnology?
Photochemical reactions in nanotechnology typically involve the interaction of light with nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanorods, or nanowires. When these materials absorb light, their electrons are excited to higher energy states. This excitation can lead to various outcomes, such as the creation of reactive species, bond breaking, or the initiation of polymerization processes.
