These compounds have a relatively small band gaps and show strong absorption in the region 300 340 nm.
Because WO3 has a relatively small band gap (2.6 eV to approximately 3.0 eV), WO3 have photocatalytic activity at visible region, from the wavelength at 400 to 443 nm.
This is because as the flow rate of oxygen increases, ITO thin films are better and more efficiently crystallized and as the thin film structures become more crystalline, it is more prone to have a relatively smaller band gap.
Also it is worth noting that, the layer baked at 500 °C and flow rate of 1.5 Nl min−1 demonstrates higher crystallinity (see Fig. 1) and hence will be expected to have a relatively smaller band gap and increased conductivity.
