Photochemical processes and photocatalysis

The course aims at understanding of the production of excited electronic states and photochemical and photophysical processes. Information on photo-induced process techniques will be given. Understanding of the development of photochemical processes occurring in nature, the principles of photoproduction and photostabilization of polymers, as well as the principles and potential of photo(electro)catalysis: all these topics will be treated.

Students will master the concepts of light-matter interaction, the properties of excited electronic states and the principles and applications of photo-induced processes.
