Measuring generation efficiency involves evaluating the ratio of useful output to the total input. This can be quantified using various metrics depending on the application. For instance:
Energy Conversion Efficiency: In photovoltaic cells, it is the ratio of electrical power output to the solar power input. Material Yield: In nanoparticle synthesis, it is the ratio of the mass of nanoparticles produced to the mass of the raw materials used. Process Efficiency: In drug delivery, it refers to the percentage of the drug that reaches the target site compared to the total amount administered.
