Definition of photochemistry in English:
photochemistry
noun fəʊtəʊˈkɛmɪstriˌfoʊdoʊˈkɛməstri
mass nounThe branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light.
Example sentencesExamples
- In photochemistry and photobiology, it is often assumed that the noncovalent association of a photosensitizer to its target will lead to more effective damage because diffusion-limited processes are eliminated.
- Early in the 20th century, new discoveries in photochemistry and photophysics improved both theoretical and empirical understandings of the behavior of electromagnetic radiation.
- The photoisomerization of C = C double bond is the basic subject of photochemistry.
- Commercial applications of photochemistry include photography, optical-brighteners and luminescent products.
- My hope is for a big increase for research into electrochemistry in hopes of finding better materials for making batteries combined with a big increase for research into photochemistry to find better materials for making photovoltaics.
