Abstract in brief

  • The study uses quantum-electrodynamical density functional theory to explore how strong light-matter interactions in cavities can slow down chemical reactions by influencing vibrational energy in molecules.
  • Researchers identified a microscopic mechanism where the cavity mode serves as a mediator, redistributing vibrational energy away from bonds essential for the reaction, thus inhibiting the process.
  • Although the model focuses on a single mode and doesn’t include collective effects, the findings align with experimental results, providing insight into how cavity environments can control chemical reactivity.
