“…Higher wavelength (nm) values absorb more light with low transmittance. The optical energy gap Eg and absorption coefficient (α) are calculated from UV–Vis data to plot Tauc's relation, (αhν) 2 = A (hν-E g ) [ 47 ]. The optical band gap shows 4.5 and 2.5 eV for the neutral and anion states, respectively.…”
