Light-driven photocatalytic reactions are featured prominently across all fields of science, from the energetically uphill processes of photosynthesis in plants, to water-splitting solar fuels, and even disinfection of water, and improving synthetic reactions. Central to understanding these reactions are the nature of the intermediate species created, and processes by which energy or electrons are transferred to form the desired products. The Edinburgh Instruments LP980 Transient Absorption (Flash Photolysis) Spectrometer is the world’s only commercially available system to feature dual detector options for direct kinetic and spectral measurements required to observe and distinguish the photocatalytic reaction mechanisms, and allow researchers to understand and optimize their reaction conditions for high-yield results.
