Today, scientists have reported a novel technique to study in-situ gas phase intermediates in photocatalysis. This new technique could revolutionize the way we study photocatalysis, and open up a new world of research opportunities. By combining a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, a femtosecond laser system, and a reaction chamber, researchers are able to probe the chemical reaction intermediates of photocatalysis in real-time. This novel technique will provide chemists with an unprecedented level of insight into the complex mechanisms of photocatalytic reactions.
