Direct correlation between aromatization of carbon-rich organic matter and its visible electronic absorption edge
The evolution of the electronic absorption edge of type I, II and III kerogen is studied by diffuse reflectance UV–Visible absorption spectroscopy. The functional form of the electronic absorption edge for all kerogens measured is in excellent agreement with the “Urbach tail” phenomenology. The Urba...
