Egec: Electrochemical band gap. Egopt: Optical band gap.λonset: Onset wavelength of the maximum absorption wavelength. EHOMO = −(EoxE1/2 (Fc/Fc+)) eV+ (−5.39 eV), ELUMO = − (EredE1/2 (Fc/Fc+)) eV + (−5.39 eV), Egec = ELUMOEHOMO, (Assuming that the formal potential of ferrocene is at 0.40 V versus SCE and that 0.24 V vs. NHE corresponds to 0.0 V vs. SCE, then the calibration value for ferrocene is −5.39 eV) [38].
