PHOTO-CATALYSIS PROCESSES IN NON-REGULAR MEDIA

Technologies that cause the least harm to nature from global warming standpoint are becoming called-for. In this regard, photo-catalysis which uses the solar energy for chemical transformations of substances is of great interest for studying possible mechanisms of such processes. At the same time, the use of photo-catalysis significantly expands capabilities of the synthesis of new organic and inorganic materials. Charge phototransfer is always at the heart of photochemical transformations. Such processes can be considered from the point of view of quantum mechanics, and the probability of various mechanisms of the passing processes can be calculated using the apparatus of Green's functions. Analytical expressions for kinetic parameters of the charge transfer process between polyatomic particles in non-regular condensed medium and expressions for the extinction coefficient for appropriate processes of charge photo-transfer are obtained. Based on the analysis of obtained analytical expressions of dark and optical charge transfer processes, correlations between kinetic parameters of these processes are obtained. A methodology for determining kinetic parameters of the charge photo-transfer process on the basis of the shape of light absorption curve by means of the system functioning as the frequency of absorbed photons in various systems is presented. In this respect the general methodology has been applied to various specific processes.
