Bond Length in ZnO Nanostructures: Key to UV Absorption Efficiency

Variations in Zn–O bond length, influenced by laser irradiation or doping, can modulate the bandgap and shift UV-absorption peaks of ZnO nanoparticles. A slight increase in bond length tends to lower the bandgap, enhancing UV absorption in the 250–400 nm range. This fine-tuning offers valuable control over optical properties for UV-filtering applications in agrochemistry.
