Is there a way of determining/calculating the Fermi level (Ef) and work functions of photocatalysts other than using DFT calculations?

16 March 2023 0 2K Report

In photocatalysis, understanding the work functions and fermi levels of your photocatalyst is quite imperative. This makes it possible to construct of a more comprehensive and accurate photocatalytic energy band diagram. The experimental evaluation of the fermi levels and work function of materials have sorely been reported. Please assist. Thank you in advance.
