Photothermocatalysis

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-008935",
  "term": "Photothermocatalysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Catalysis driven by the combined action of electronic excitation from ultraviolet or visible light and thermal energy, the heat coming from infrared radiation or from exothermic reactions. Practical examples include a heterogeneous photocatalyst illuminated by infrared light, a laser or sunlight. The two contributions often reinforce each other, but the combined rate is not required to exceed the sum of the separate photocatalytic and thermal rates.",
