The contribution will discuss the fundamentals of photochemical reaction engineering in the context of comprehensive reporting and characterization of laboratory experimental setups. It will be shown that synergistic interdisciplinary work can lead to an enhanced photocatalytic performance through dynamic irradiation strategies, in-depth mechanistic understanding, and improved reactor designs. Examples will be provided to illustrate this point.
