Nitrogen doping in coexposed (001)–(101) anatase TiO2 surfaces: a DFT study
文献信息

In this work we study the effect of nitrogen (N)-doping on the structural and electronic properties of coexposed anatase (001)–(101) surfaces by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT). This work is motivated by recent experiments, showing that these materials are highly active for photocatalysis. The introduction of doping species such as N further improves their activity under visible light. Our results indicate a tendency toward dopant segregation at the interface at low N concentrations, while at larger concentrations also doping sites in the bulk regions are populated. N-Doping does not affect the reciprocal band alignment of TiO2(101) and (001), where the former stabilizes photogenerated electrons and the latter hosts the holes. However, N-doping enhances the visible light absorption of the composite material, due to the introduction of gap states. Moreover, N-doping strongly stabilizes oxygen vacancies, which in turn enhance the light absorption properties.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
