Abstract

We provide a brief introduction about photocatalysis and the reaction mechanism for charge-carrier dynamics focusing in the situation and application of Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity (TRMC) as a useful characterization technique of irradiated semiconductors.

Keywords: Semiconductors; microwave conductivity; photocatalysis.

 

Resumen

En el presente trabajo de revisión se describen brevemente los fundamentos de fotocatálisis y los mecanismos de reacción en la dinámica de los portadores de carga enfocándose en el estado y aplicaciones de la conductividad de microondas resuelta en el tiempo (TRMC) como una técnica útil de caracterización de semiconductores irradiados.

Descriptores: Semiconductores; conductividad de microondas; fotocatálisis.
