Investigation in mechanistic issues of sonocatalysis and sonophotocatalysis using pure and doped photocatalysts

TL;DR: Intense shock waves generated by cavitation bubbles cause desorption of dye molecules from catalyst surface and reduce the probability of dye-radical interaction, thus reducing the net utility of photochemically generated OH radicals towards dye decolorization.
