Activation Energy in Photochemical and Thermally Driven Reactions: Mechanistic Insights, Kinetic Modelling and Photocatalytic Applications
Abstract: Chemical reactions constitute fundamental processes in which reactants are transformed into products through the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. In photochemical systems, these transformations are initiated or influenced by the absorption of light, making energy transfer mechanisms particularly significant. A key parameter governing reaction kinetics is activation energy, defined as the minimum energy required for reactant molecules to undergo a successful transformation. This article focuses on the role of …

Photochemical Materials for Light-responsive Optical Switching: AI-optimized Design of Dynamic Visual Effects
Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the design and behavior of photochemical materials that generate optical illusions and dynamic visual effects through light-induced molecular transformations. The study focuses on advanced photoresponsive compounds such as azobenzene and spiropyran derivatives, emphasizing their reversible optical transitions governed by photoisomerization, phase transitions, and photochromism in solid-state and polymeric matrices. Spectroscopic and kinetic analyses are employed to evaluate the influence of light wavelength, material …
