Hello dear all,
I have calculated the band gap values of a bismuth oxide catalyst using UV-Vis DRS (from Kubelka Munk function) and PL spectra, and then I tried the same thing for a few catalysts too. The values of band gaps calculated by both techniques differ by approximately 0.4 eV. What could be the reason for this, and if so could you please share a reference for it? What is the maximum value at which this difference can be accepted or neglected?
Thank you in advance.
