photocatalytic materials

Why are Nanoscale Photocatalysts More Effective?

The effectiveness of nanoscale photocatalysts can be attributed to several reasons:
Increased Surface Area: Nanoparticles have a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio, providing more active sites for the photocatalytic reactions.
Quantum Effects: At the nanoscale, quantum confinement can alter the electronic properties of the materials, enhancing their photocatalytic activity.
Enhanced Light Absorption: Nanomaterials can better absorb light and generate more electron-hole pairs compared to their bulk counterparts.
