Organic Photovoltaics
The bandgap is the energy difference between the valence band and the conduction band in a material, representing the minimum energy required for an electron to transition from being bound to the atoms (in the valence band) to being free to conduct electricity (in the conduction band). A smaller bandgap typically means that a material can absorb lower-energy photons, making it crucial in determining the light absorption properties of organic semiconductors and their efficiency in converting sunlight into electricity.
congrats on reading the definition of bandgap. now let's actually learn it.
