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.     

阳离子空位和吸附氧的协同作用对Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100)表面磁性影响的第一性原理研究

The combination effect of cation vacancies and O₂ adsorption on ferromagnetism of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface is studied by using density functional theory.An ideal Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface is non-magnetic and the cation vacancy could induce the magnetism.By comparing the formation energies for Na,Bi and Ti vacancy,the Na vacancy is more stable than the others.Therefore,we focus on the configuration and electric structure for the system of O₂ molecule adsorption on the Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface with a Na vacancy.Among the five physisorption configurations we considered,the most likely adsorption position is Na vacancy.The O₂ adsorption enhances the magnetism of the system.The contribution of spin polarization is mainly from the O 2p orbitals.The characteristics of exchange coupling are also calculated,which show that the ferromagnetic coupling is favorable.Compared with the previous calculation results,our calculations could explain the room-temperature ferromagnetism of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ nanocrytalline powders more reasonably,because of taking into account adsorbed oxygen and cation vacancies.Moreover,our results also show that adsorption of O₂ molecule as well as introduction of cation vacancies may be a promising approach to improve multiferroic materials.

First-principles calculations on electronic structures of Fe-vacancy-codoped TiO2 anatase (1 0 1) surface

The electronic structures of Fe-doped TiO₂ anatase (1 0 1) surfaces have been investigated by all spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) plane-wave pseudopotential method. The general gradient approximation (GGA)+U (Hubbard coefficient) method has been adopted to describe the exchange-correlation effects. Through the density functional calculations for the formation energies of various configurations, the complex of a substitutional Fe plus an O vacancy was found to form easily in the most range of O chemical potential. The calculated density of the states of the system of Fe-doped surface with a surface oxygen vacancy shows a band gap narrowing from 2.8 to 1.9 eV comparing with the pure surface due to the synergistic effects of surface Fe impurities with O vacancies. The system processes high visible light sensitivity and photocatalytic ability by decreasing extrinsic absorption energy. By comparing the partial DOS of some O and Ti atoms lying in the outermost and bottom layers of Fe-doped surfaces, it was found that the influence of Fe impurities on the electronic structure of the system is localized.     

Adsorption CO2 on the perfect and oxygen vacancy defect surfaces of anatase TiO2 and its photocatalytic mechanism of conversion to CO

The adsorption energies for physisorption and the most stable chemisorption of CO₂ on the neutral charge of perfect anatase [TiO₂] (0 0 1) are −9.03 and −24.66 kcal/mol on the spin-unpolarized and −12.98 and −26.19 kcal/mol on the spin-polarized surface. The small activation barriers of 1.67 kcal/mol on the spin-unpolarized surface and of 6.66 kcal/mol on the spin-unpolarized surface were obtained. The adsorption mechanism of CO₂ on the oxygen vacancy defect [TiO₂ + V_O] surface of anatase TiO₂ using density functional theory calculations was investigated. The energetically preferred conversion of CO₂ to CO was found either on the spin-unpolarized or spin-polarized surfaces of oxygen vacancy defect surface [TiO₂ + V_O] as photocatalyst.     

Spectroscopic studies of interfacial structures of CeO2-TiO2 mixed oxides

We have investigated the geometric and electronic structures of the cerium oxide (CeO₂)-titanium dioxide (TiO₂) mixed oxides with various Ce/TiO₂ weight ratios prepared by the sol-gel method in detail by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy excited by 325 and 514.5 nm lasers, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Existence of cerium effectively inhibits the phase transition of TiO₂ from the anatase phase to the rutile phase. XRD peaks of TiO₂ anatase attenuate continuously with the increasing amount of CeO₂ in the mixed oxide, but the XRD peaks of cubic CeO₂ appear only after the weight ratio of Ce/TiO₂ reaches 0.50. The average crystalline sizes of TiO₂ anatase and cubic CeO₂ in CeO₂-TiO₂ mixed oxides are smaller than those in the corresponding individual TiO₂ anatase and cubic CeO₂. Raman spectroscopy excited by the 514.5 nm laser detects CeO₂ after the weight ratio of Ce/TiO₂ reaches 0.70 whereas Raman spectroscopy excited by the 325 nm laser detects CeO₂ after the weight ratio of Ce/TiO₂ reaches 0.90. XPS results demonstrate that Ti exists in the form of Ti⁴⁺ in the CeO₂-TiO₂ mixed oxide. Ce is completely in the form of Ce³⁺ in the mixed oxides with a 0.05 weight ratio of Ce/TiO₂. With the increasing weight ratio of Ce/TiO₂, Ce⁴⁺ dominates. On basis of these results, we proposed that CeO₂ initially nucleates at the defects (oxygen vacancies) within TiO₂ anatase, forming an interface bridged with oxygen between CeO₂ and TiO₂ anatase. At the interface, Ce species cannot substitute Ti⁴⁺ in the lattice of TiO₂ anatase whereas Ti⁴⁺ can substitute Ce⁴⁺ in the lattice of cubic CeO₂. The decreasing concentration of oxygen vacancies, the Ti-O-Ce interface, and the decreasing average crystalline size of TiO₂ anatase act to inhibit the phase transformation of TiO₂ anatase. With the increasing amounts of CeO₂, the CeO₂ clusters continuously grow and form cubic CeO₂ nanocrystals. Spectroscopic results strongly demonstrate that the surface region of CeO₂-TiO₂ mixed oxide is enriched with TiO₂.
