Tuning the Optical Band Gap of Semiconductor Nanocomposites—A Case Study with ZnS/Carbon

The linear photochemical response of materials depends on two critical parameters: the size of the optical band gap determines the onset of optical excitation, whereas the absolute energetic positions of the band edges define the reductive or oxidative character of photo-generated electrons and hole...
