Dispensability of the conventional Tauc’s plot for accurate bandgap determination from UV–vis optical diffuse reflectance data

The use of the conventional Tauc’s method to determine optical bandgap energy from UV–vis spectroscopy data has been overemphasized for decades. However, a misuse of the Tauc’s formula in conjunction with the Kubelka-Munk function to determine the bandgap energy of semiconductors from diffuse reflec...
