P掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的第一性原理计算

利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理对不同P掺杂形式(P替位Ti, P替位O, 间隙P)的锐钛矿相TiO₂的晶格常数、电荷布居、能带结构、分态密度和吸收光谱进行了计算. 结果表明, P替位Ti时, TiO₂体积减小, P替位O和间隙P的存在使TiO₂的体积膨胀; 替位Ti的P和间隙P均有不同程度的氧化, 而替位O的P带有负电荷. 三种P掺杂形式均导致锐钛矿相TiO₂禁带宽度的增大, 并在TiO₂禁带之内引入了掺杂局域能级. P掺杂导致TiO₂禁带宽度增大的程度依次为: 间隙P>P替位Ti>P替位O. 吸收光谱的计算结果表明, P替位Ti并不能增强TiO₂的可见光吸收能力, 但间隙P的存在大幅提高了TiO₂的可见光光吸收能力, 间隙P有可能是造成实验上P掺杂增强锐钛矿相TiO₂光催化活性的重要原因. 关键词： P掺杂 2')" href="#">锐钛矿相TiO₂ 第一性原理

Electronic and optical properties of pure and Mo doped anatase TiO2 using GGA and GGA+U calculations

Comparative GGA and GGA+U calculations for pure and Mo doped anatase TiO₂ are performed based on first principle theory, whose results show that GGA+U calculation provide more reliable results as compared to the experimental findings. The direct band gap nature of the anatase TiO₂ is confirmed, both by using GGA and GGA+U calculations. Mo doping in anatase TiO₂ narrows the band gap of TiO₂ by introducing Mo 4d states below the conduction band minimum. Significant reduction of the band gap of anatase TiO₂ is found with increasing Mo doping concentration due to the introduction of widely distributed Mo 4d states below the conduction band minimum. The increase in the width of the conduction band with increasing doping concentration shows enhancement in the conductivity which may be helpful in increasing electron–hole pairs separation and consequently decreases the carrier recombination. The Mo doped anatase TiO₂ exhibits the n-type characteristic due to the shifting of Fermi level from the top of the valence band to the bottom of the conduction band. Furthermore, a shift in the absorption edge towards visible light region is apparent from the absorption spectrum which will enhance its photocatalytic activity. All the doped models have depicted visible light absorption and the absorption peaks shift towards higher energies in the visible region with increasing doping concentration. Our results describe the way to tailor the band gap of anatase TiO₂ by changing Mo doping concentration. The Mo doped anatase TiO₂ will be a very useful photocatalyst with enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity.     

First-principle calculations on optical properties of C-N-doped and C-N-codoped anatase TiO2

The electronic structures, dipole moment and optical properties of C-N-doped and C-N-codoped anatase titanium dioxide (TiO₂) are studied using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method of density functional theory (DFT). The results revealed that the absorption coefficients of pure TiO₂ and N-doped TiO₂ are consistent with experimental values in the visible-light region. The bands originating from C/N-2p states lie in the band gap of doped TiO₂. A visible-light absorption edge red-shift can be observed. The atomic charges have changed, resulting in devation of the center of gravity of the negative electric charge from the positive electric charge in the super-cell, and their dipole moment would not be zero. The dipole moment has large influence on the optical responses in the visible region of TiO₂. Because of the small distance (0.531 nm) between C and N atoms, the covalent bond component was easily enhanced between C atom and adjacent O atom, the covalent bonds making it more difficult for the carrier transfer. Moreover, its optical absorption coefficient is going to reduce in the visible-light region. Under the condition of the larger distance (0.691 nm) between C and N atoms, their interaction can be reduced, which is beneficial to electrons transition; as a result, a significant improvement of the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ has been found under the visible-light irradiation.

Concentration-dependent electronic structure and optical absorption properties of B-doped anatase TiO2

The concentration-dependent electronic structures and optical properties of B-doped anatase TiO₂ have been calculated using the density functional theory. The calculated results indicate that the electronic structures of B-doped TiO₂ have changed compared with those of pure TiO₂, which is mainly due to the new midgap states induced by B doping. As to the optical properties, we calculate the imaginary part of dielectric function ε₂(ω) and optical absorption spectra of pure and B-doped TiO₂. Two transitions E₁ and E₂ emerged after B doping. The intensity of absorption is enhanced by B doping both in the UV and visible regions. According to the results of imaginary part of dielectric function ε₂(ω) and DOS, it can be concluded that the two optical transitions correspond to the transitions from the O 2p states in the top of valence band to the midgap states and from the midgap states to the Ti 3d states in the bottom of conduction band, respectively. These results have important implications for the further development of photocatalytic materials.     

X-ray spectroscopic study of the electronic structure of visible-light responsive N-, C- and S-doped TiO2

The electronic origins of the visible-light response of N-, C- and S-doped TiO₂ have been studied using X-ray absorption, X-ray emission, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. New electronic states are observed in the bulk band gap, above the valence band edge of pure TiO₂, which can be directly related to the visible-light absorption of the N-, C- and S-doped TiO₂ materials.     

Effects of native defects on the electronic structure and photocatalytic activity in anatase TiO2 by first principles calculations

The crystal structure, electronic structure, optical properties and photocatalytic activity of the native defects in anatase TiO₂ were investigated based on the density-functional theory (DFT). The results show that oxygen vacancies (V_O) have the lowest formation energy, and thus are easiest to form in the bulk structure. The conduction and valence band moves to the high or low energy region, and the energy gap becomes narrower for the native point defect models. In particular, oxygen interstitials (O_i) have a direct band gap, and new gap states appear in the band gap, which can be responsible for the high photocatalytic efficiency in anatase TiO₂. The phenomenon of “impurity compensation” takes place for the oxygen and titanium interstitials. Ti vacancy (V_Ti) can promote the utilization of solar light by analyzing the absorption spectra. All the calculated results show that O_i and V_Ti are beneficial in improving the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ in the UV–visible light range.

Optical properties of N and transition metal R (R=V,Cr, Mn,Fe, Co,Ni, Cu,and Zn) codoped anatase TiO2

The electronic structures, deformation charge density, dipole moment and optical properties of N and transition metal R (R=V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) codoped anatase TiO₂ are studied using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method of density functional theory (DFT). The results exhibit that the absorption coefficients of the N+Cr-doped TiO₂ are in accordance with the experimental values in the visible-light region. The calculated results reveal that the N+R-doped TiO₂ is helpful for enhancing the absorption coefficient in the visible-light region; especially, among the eight materials, N+Mn-doped TiO₂ has the largest value of absorption coefficient in the visible-light region. The ionic bonding and Jahn–Teller distortion would contribute to increase the photocatalytic activity of TiO₂ in the visible-light region. All in all, for doped TiO₂, the large dipole moment of TiO₆ octahedron can enhance the optical responses in the visible-light region; in this work, however, it is found that the small dipole moment of TiO₆ octahedron would increase the absorption coefficient in the visible-light region.
