The article says that they're "extending the technology so it will also be compatible with LEDs" but as you say it seems to be triggered by heat so I'm not sure how that will work, but it would need to given the phasing out of incandescent (and presumably halogen?) bulbs.
- rantallion 3y agoThe last paragraph explains: > Unlike halogen and incandescent bulbs, however, LEDs release too little heat to activate thermocatalysts. So Kim's team is developing photocatalysts that are stimulated by the near-UV light emitted by LEDs, as well as other catalysts that transform part of the LEDs' visible light output into heat.
