How To Correctly Determine the Band Gap Energy of Modified Semiconductor Photocatalysts Based on UV–Vis Spectra

Patrycja Makuła, Michał Pacia, Wojciech Macyk

Short summary

This viewpoint clarifies that the band gap energy of modified semiconductor photocatalysts should be determined using the Tauc-plot method, specifically by extrapolating the linear part of the plot to the energy axis, not by using the onset of absorption.
