摘要

By using a larger set of experimental data, for both s,p-metal and d-metal hydroxides, two new semi-empirical correlations between optical band gap, Eg,opt, of hydroxides and the square of the difference of electronegativity between OH-( \(\chi OH-\) χ O H - ) and the metallic cation Mz+ ( \(\chi Mz+\) χ M z + ) have been derived. A general analytical expression for the estimate of Eg,opt values of oxyhydroxides has been obtained. A comparison of experimental and estimated Eg,opt values, obtained by using the different expressions, has been carried out. It comes out that for electronegativity value ≤ 1.50, both the two expression provide a good agreement with the experimental Eg,opt data, while for higher electronegativity values, the older heuristic expression seems to provide a better agreement. A general correlation between Eg,opt values, obtained by means of photocurrent spectroscopy technique, and layer composition is also carried out for anodic films grown on different s,p- and d-metals.
