I got band gap values of 2.58 and 3.25 eV for two chalcones. Can anyone please let me know, is there any specific optoelectronic applications for these values of band gaps?
It is not necessary only the value of band gap determine the type of application because there are others many parameters govern the type of application such as absorption curve, light harvesting capacity for the materials. For example, Band gap of the TiO2 (rutile and anatase) phase is 3.2 - 3.35 eV depending on the type of preparation However, Tio2 contribute in most photovoltaics devices due to its unique properties.
So, you can try to used chalcone compounds towards solar cell, UV sensor or photodiode applications
I attached three papers for helping you: one for chalcone compound as solar cell and other for hydroxy coumarin compound
You might consider opto-electronic applications in colour sensing, or even optical temperature measurement. (Which uses the bandgap edge shift with temperature.)
