surface recombination

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14098
Recombination of charge carriers at a solid surface or at an interface between different phases.
Note: In theoretical models of heterogeneous photocatalysis, the photocarriers exchange between the solid and the reactants yielding products that may be considered as a specific type of surface recombination products.
