Sonocatalysis is a field of sonochemistry which is based on the use of ultrasound to change the reactivity of a catalyst in homogenous or heterogenous catalysis. It's generally used to support the catalysis. This way of catalysis is known since the creation of sonochemistry in 1927 by Alfred Lee Loomis (1887–1975) and Robert Williams Wood (1868–1955).[1] Sonocatalysis (and even sonochemistry at all) depends on ultrasounds which were discovered in 1794 by the Italian biologist Lazarro Spallanzani (1729–1799)[2]
