Sonochemistry refers to the study of chemical reactions and processes that are influenced by ultrasonic waves, typically in the frequency range of 20 kHz to 10 MHz. The application of ultrasound induces cavitation, the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a liquid. This phenomenon generates highly localized hot spots with extreme temperatures and pressures, leading to unique chemical environments that are not easily attainable through conventional methods.
