“…Both ZnO and SnO 2 are direct bandgap semiconductors, so the optical band energy can be obtained by Tauc plots using the Kubelka‐Munk equation (Equation ). [ 21 ] wherein α, , A and E g are the optical absorption coefficient, the photon energy, the proportional constant and the optical band energy, respectively. There are two absorption edges in the ZnO film, one is 3.30 eV related to the ZnO film, which was consistent with the near‐band edge emission of PL spectra; and the other is 3.03 eV, which origins from the light trapping effect of the ZnO nanorods.…”
