What Does PET Stand For?
PET stands for Photoinduced Electron Transfer
PET, or Photoinduced Electron Transfer, refers to the process by which an electron is transferred from a donor to an acceptor molecule upon absorption of light. This fundamental photophysical phenomenon plays a crucial role in various fields, including photochemistry, photovoltaics, and biological systems such as photosynthesis. Understanding PET mechanisms is essential for advancing energy conversion technologies and designing effective photonic materials.
