Description

In the article (Ahmed & Edvinsson, J. Phys. Chem. C, 2020) we have investigated the optical, electronic, and photocatalytic properties of ZnO quantum dots in aqueous-based suspensions under AM1.5G solar irradiation. With the addition of an organic dye to the suspension we could spectrometrically probe how the changing diameter of the quantum dots affected their redox properties.

This dataset consists mainly of time series of UV-Vis spectra experimentally recorded in-situ during illumination of the ZnO photocatalyst using a bench-top fibre-optic spectrophotometer, and of derived properties such as optical absorption coefficients and peak fit parameters.

This dataset includes all the raw data and all digital resources (images, references, etc.) necessary to reproduce the article in preprint form. It also includes all code (R language) used to ingest, manipulate, plot and tabulate the data in what is called an Rnoweb document.

Rnoweb is a type of literate programming document, where the manuscript text (LaTeX) can be interspersed with code in the same file. For the sake of readability (as well

Rnoweb is a type of literate programming document, where the manuscript text (LaTeX) can be interspersed with code in the same file. For the sake of readability (as well as writeability) we have split the manuscript into multiple Rnoweb source files, all linked from a single parent: 000-paper.Rnw.

Please note that the compressed archive (zip) here lacks git versioning metadata, which is included if you instead clone this dataset from the linked GitHub or Codeberg repositories. The zip-file here corresponds to the v1.0.0 release (i.e., commit 11de097154). Show less..
