Catalytic resonance in action!

Our recent work on “Dynamic control of elementary step energetics via pulsed illumination enhances photocatalysis on metal nanoparticles” has been published in ACS Energy Letters

We demonstrate that photocatalysis using pulsed light, rather than continuous illumination, could be more efficient in driving methanol decomposition reaction by matching the frequency of light pulsing with the kinetic time scales of the elementary reaction steps.
