  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008813",
  "term": "Photocatalytic centre",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A specific location on the surface of a photocatalyst where light-induced chemical reactions take place. These centers are characterized by their ability to absorb photons and generate electron-hole pairs, which then participate in catalytic transformations. The density and activity of these centers directly influence the overall photocatalytic reaction rate.",
