Interaction of PhotoactiveFe(CN)64-with TiO2 Anatase(101) Surface:A Periodic Density Functional Theory Study

摘要

The plane-wave pseudopotential function method, based on density-functional theory, has been used to calculate the adsorption, electronic band structures, orbitals and optical absorption spectrum of [Fe(CN)6]4- on TiO2 anatase(101) surface. Our calculations reveal that the surface-modified anatase system has large adsorption energy and a much narrower band gap.[Fe(CN)6]4- adsorption on the (101) surface could lead to a large red shift of the anatase optical absorption threshold, which extends into a visible region significantly. The calculated results are in agreement with the experiment and other theoretical studies reasonably. It is very important for the understanding and further development ofphotovoltaic materials that are active under visible light.
