在《物理化学杂志》四月和五月号上，怀尔德·D.班克罗夫特在这个标题下贡献了两篇长文，主要是因为大量引用了格罗图斯、赫歇尔、HW沃格尔、E. Vogel、Timiriazeff、Acworth、v. Hübl、Botharhley以及其他与这一主题相关的著作。通信的目的是“尽可能地将光的各种催化作用置于一个头下”，并表明这可以通过接受大约90年前由Grotthuss阐述的两个定律来实现：（1）只有那些被吸收的光线才能产生化学作用;（2）光线的作用类似于伏打电池的作用。因此，这种作用被认为是电解的，而敏化剂，无论是“光学的”还是“化学的”，都被看作是去偏振剂。格劳托斯的基本概念，即光的作用本质上是电解的性质，被认为是健全的，并与现代观念雅阁，虽然他表达它的语言可能有点模糊。
IN the April and May numbers of the Journal of Physical Chemistry, Mr. Wilder D. Bancroft contributes two long articles under this heading, long chiefly because of the very extensive quotations from the writings of Grotthuss, Herschel, HW Vogel, E. Vogel, Timiriazeff, Acworth, v. Hübl, Botharhley, and others whose work bears upon the subject. The object of the communication is “to bring the various catalytic actions of light under one head so far as possible,” and to show that this may be done by accepting two laws enunciated by Grotthuss some ninety years ago:—(1) that only those rays of light which are absorbed can produce chemical action;(2) that the action of a ray of light is analogous to that of a voltaic cell. The action, therefore, is regarded as electrolytic, and sensitisers, whether “optical” or “chemical,” are viewed as depolarisers. The fundamental conception of Grotthuss, that the action of light is essentially electrolytic in character, is held to be sound and to accord with modern notions, though the language in which he expressed it may be somewhat obscure.
