Radiation-activation

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009832",
  "term": "Radiation-activation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The process of initiating or enhancing the activity of a material or catalyst through exposure to radiation. This can involve creating active sites, generating free radicals, or inducing electronic transitions that promote chemical reactivity. It is a key mechanism in radiation catalysis and radiation processing.",
