C掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2吸收光谱的第一性原理研究

运用第一性原理,对C掺杂锐钛矿相TiO₂的电子结构进行了研究,从能带结构理论解释了C掺杂TiO₂吸收光谱的一些实验现象.发现在C掺杂后的锐钛矿相TiO₂的禁带宽度增大,并且在带隙中出现了杂质能级,这些杂质能级主要是由C 2p轨道上的电子构成的,它们之间是独立的,正是这些独立的杂质能级使TiO₂掺杂后可以发生可见光响应.价带上的电子可以吸收一定能量的光子跃迁到杂质能级,而杂质能级上的电子也可以吸收一定能量的光子跃迁到导带,所以从理论上可以计算出掺杂后的TiO₂在可见光范围内存在两个吸收边,与实验中所得到的现象相一致.     

Eu掺杂量对锐钛矿相TiO2电子寿命和吸收光谱影响的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论框架下的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,建立了不同Eu掺杂量的锐钛矿相TiO₂超胞模型,计算了其态密度、差分电荷密度、能带结构和吸收光谱.结果发现:掺杂后Eu在TiO₂的禁带中产生杂质能级.通过对比两种不同Eu掺杂量(1.39at%和2.08at%)下的锐钛矿TiO₂的能带结构,发现掺杂量越高,杂质能级越向深能级方向移动,说明电子复合率随杂质浓度增加而增加,即电子寿命变小,同时吸收光谱红移越显著,强度越强.根据实际需要,可在锐钛矿TiO₂中适量掺杂Eu,在适当减少电子寿命情况下,使吸收光谱红移.

N-S共掺杂金红石相TiO2电子结构与光学性质的第一性原理研究

采用基于第一性原理的平面波超软赝势方法研究N和S单掺杂以及N和S共掺杂金红石相TiO2的能带结构,态密度和光学性质.结果表明:N掺杂导致禁带宽度减小为1.43 eV,并且在价带上方形成了一条杂质能带;S掺杂导致费米能级上移靠近导带,直接带隙减小为0.32 eV;N和S共掺杂导致能带结构中出现了两条杂质能带,靠近导带的一条杂质能级距离导带底约0.35 eV,靠近价带的一条杂质能级距离价带顶约0.85 eV,杂质能级主要由N原子的2p轨道和S原子的3p轨道组成.N和S掺杂后不但使TiO2的吸收带产生红移,而且在可见光区具有较大的吸收系数,光催化活性增强.     

氧空位对共掺型锐钛矿TiO2能带结构的影响

基于电子密度泛函理论计算,系统研究了氧空位对V-C(p型)、Cr-N(n型)、V-N和Cr-C(电中性)四种共掺型锐钛矿TiO₂的几何和电子结构的影响．结果表明在最稳定构型中氧空位处在与金属杂质原子相连的位置．由于氧空位的出现,共掺TiO₂禁带中一些未占据的杂质态被填充满电子,掺杂体系的导带带边位置几乎不变,这有利于减少光生载流子复合,且不影响光解水过程中的产氢反应,在厌氧条件下很容易在V-N共掺TiO₂中引入氧空位．     

N-Mo-W共掺杂金红石相TiO_2的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论第一性原理与平面波超软赝势法是目前对物质光学性质计算的成熟手段,本文利用MS软件采取该方法对金红石相TiO_2进行了不同掺杂情况下的模拟计算.内容包括未掺杂与单掺杂Mo、单掺杂N、共掺杂Mo-N以及共掺杂N-Mo-W这五种不同情况下TiO_2的能带结构、电子态密度与光学性质分析,通过对计算得出的数据分析有以下结论:单掺杂能改变TiO_2禁带宽度,但相对于共掺杂Mo-N和W-N以及N-Mo-W来说效果欠佳.其中,掺杂W时由于在导带底中出现新的杂质能级,并出现了导带下降幅度大于价带下降幅度的情况,禁带宽度变窄,使得在单掺杂情况中效果明显.而共掺杂中N-Mo-W的价带出现清晰的杂质能级,并且由于该能级介于费米能级附近的关系使得价电子跃迁至导带更为容易,并且此时能级密度较大也是掺杂效果明显的一个重要原因.

基于密度泛函理论,采用第一性原理赝势平面波方法计算了Co、Cr单掺杂以及Co-Cr共掺杂金红石型TiO2的能带结构、态密度和光学性质.计算结果表明:纯金红石的禁带宽度为3.0eV,Co掺杂金红石型TiO2的带隙为1.21eV,导带顶和价带底都位于G点处,仍为直接带隙,在价带与导带之间出现了由Co 3d和Ti 3d轨道杂化形成的杂质能级;Cr掺杂金红石型TiO2的直接带隙为0.85eV,在价带与导带之间的杂质能级由Cr 3d和Ti 3d轨道杂化轨道构成,导带和价带都向低能级方向移动;Co-Cr共掺杂,由于电子的强烈杂化,使O-2p态和Ti-3d态向Co-3d和Cr-3d态移动,使价带顶能级向高能级移动而导带底能级向低能方向移动,极大地减小了禁带的宽度,也是共掺杂改性的离子选择依据.掺杂金红石型TiO2的介电峰、折射率和吸收系数峰都向低能方向移动;在E2.029eV的范围内,纯金红石的ε2、k和吸收系数为零,掺杂后的跃迁强度都大于未掺杂时的跃迁强度,Co-Cr共掺杂的跃迁强度大于Co掺杂及Cr掺杂,说明Co、Cr共掺杂更能增强电子在低能端的光学跃迁,具有更佳的可见光催化性能.

Effects of acceptor–donor complexes on electronic structure properties in co-doped TiO2: A first-principles study

We theoretically investigate the doping effects induced by impurity complexes on the electronic structures of anatase TiO₂ based on the density functional theory. Mono-doping and co-doping effects are discussed separately. The results show that the impurity doping can make the band-edges shift. The induced defect levels in the band gaps by impurity doping reduce the band gap predominantly. The compensated acceptor–donor pairs in the co-doped TiO₂ will improve the photoelectrochemical activity. From the calculations, it is also found that (S+Zr)-co-doped TiO₂ has the ideal band gap and band edge, at the same time, the binding energy is higher than other systems, so (S+Zr)-co-doping in TiO₂ is more promise in photoelectrochemical experiments.

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.     

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.     

A first-principles theoretical simulation on the electronic structures and optical absorption properties for O vacancy and Ni impurity in TiO2 photocatalysts

The band structures and optical absorption spectra of O vacancy and Ni ion doped anatase TiO₂ were successfully calculated and simulated by a plane wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory (DFT). From the calculated results, a phenomenon of “impurity compensation” was found: the lower formation energy for O vacancy than Ni impurity indicated that introducing the intrinsic defect of O vacancy into Ni ion doped TiO₂ sample was very possible; the positive binding energy for the combination of O vacancy and Ni impurity indicated that two defects were apt to bind to each other; While Ni impurity produced the donor levels in the forbidden band of TiO₂, Ni impurity with O vacancy produced the acceptor levels upon which the excitation led to the photogenerated electrons with high energy and transferability. The combination of absorption spectra for O vacancy and Ni impurity with O vacancy models could reproduce the experimental measurement very well.     

First principles calculations of electronic and optical properties of Mo and C co-doped anatase TiO2

Using the first principles calculations, the electronic and optical properties of C, Mo and Mo-C-doped anatase TiO₂ are studied. For the Mo mono-doped TiO₂, the band gap reduces little, and the largest perturbation occurs at the CBM of TiO₂. C mono-doping suppresses the effective band gap, but the partially occupied subbands in the gap probably also serve as the recombination centers for electrons and holes. Therefore, the Mo-C co-doping is investigated for the charge compensation consideration. We discuss six doped configurations and find that the total energy of the system is increased with increasing distance of C and Mo. It is found that co-doped configurations with C nearest to Mo possess the lowest total energy. Then, we focus on discussing three possible Mo-C adjacent co-doped configurations. The subbands mainly induced by C-2p states in the band gap become fully occupied because the Mo atom contributes sufficient electrons to C anion for compensation. At the same time, the effective band gap is narrowed about 0.9 eV and the perturbation at the CBM occurred in Mo mono-doped TiO₂ disappears, which means the band edges of doped system still straddle the redox potentials of water. Furthermore, the optical properties of the compensated Mo-C adjacent co-doped TiO₂ and pure TiO₂ are calculated. The optical absorption edges of the Mo-C co-doped TiO₂ shift towards the visible light region.
