“…This region, where a sharp increase in absorbance values is observed, is the main absorption region of the film. To determine the optical bandgap of GO film, Tauc's model was used and the plot of ( Ahν ) 2 versus the photon energy hν and the absorption bandgap ( E g ) can be determined by the equation: ( Ahν ) 2 = a ( hν − Eg ), [ 21 ] where hν is the photon energy (eV), A is the absorption coefficient, a is a constant, and Eg is the bandgap. The ( Ahν ) 2 versus hν plot of GO film is shown in Figure 3a.…”
