Superparamagnetic iron oxide decorated indium hydroxide nanocomposite: Synthesis, characterization and its photocatalytic activity
Published 2022“…In comparison to the In(OH)3 system having a band gap of 4.60 eV), the band gap of the Fe3O4/In(OH)3 nanocomposite produced was determined to be 2.85 eV using the Tauc's plot method. The effective reduction in band gap is expected to allow better absorption of visible light which in turns should help boost its photocatalytic performance. …”

Optical and structural behavior of hydrothermally synthesized ZnO nanoparticles at various temperatures with NaOH molar ratios
Published 2024-02-01“…The particle morphology changes from a spherical shape to a flower-like rod shape and then to a cluster rod-like shape due to the difference in growth speed between the different crystallographic planes with rising temperature and molar ratios. Tauc's plot range predicted the band gap of all ZnO nanoparticle samples to be approximately 3.2 eV, lower than bulk ZnO's 3.37 eV, resulting in the absorption edge red-shifted in DRS spectra. …”
