Condition

Conversion Metric
type: Class
comment: The conversion of the given units to desired units for any quantity to be measured

type: Class

Role
type: Class

Photocatalysis Experiment
type: Class
subclass of: Experiment Execution
comment: Experiment that measures the change in the rate of a chemical transformation under the action of light in the presence of a catalyst which absorbs light and is involved in the chemical reaction

Apparent Quantum Yield
type: NamedIndividual
type: Conversion Metric
comment: The ratio of the number of electrons participating in the reaction to the total number of incident photons under a specific wavelength condition

Dye
type: NamedIndividual
type: Role
comment: The term dye refers to compounds which can impart color to a substrate when applied in solution from either aqueous or organic solvents. The substrates include textiles, plastics, polymers, etc. Both the applications to materials and color constitutions of dyes involve essentially chemical principles. Dyes and pigments are both commonly applied as a coloring material, but they are distinguished on the basis of their solubility either in water or organic solvents; therefore dyes are soluble, whereas pigments are insoluble

Photonic Efficiency
type: NamedIndividual
type: Conversion Metric
comment: Ratio of the rate of the photoreaction measured for a specified time interval (usually the initial condi- tions) to the rate of incident photons within a defined wavelength interval inside the irradiation window of the reactor

Quantum Yield
type: NamedIndividual
type: Conversion Metric
comment: The ratio of the number of photons emitted to the number of photons absorbed

Reductant
type: NamedIndividual
type: Role
comment: The element or compound in a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction that donates an electron to another species

Support
type: NamedIndividual
type: Role
comment: In multiphase catalysts, the active catalytic material is often present as the minor component dispersed upon a support sometimes called a carrier. The support may be catalytically inert but it may contribute to the overall catalytic activity.
