Dynamic photoadsorption process

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-003498",
  "term": "Dynamic photoadsorption process",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A process on an illuminated photocatalyst in which photoadsorption of a species and its photodesorption occur at the same time, so the same species is continually taken up and released while the solid is photoexcited. It is therefore a dynamic balance between two light-driven opposing steps rather than one-way uptake.",
