چکیده

In Figure S1, the computed surface energies obtained with slab models of increasing number of O-Ti-O layers are plotted. We compare the values obtained by keeping all the coordinates fixed in the bulk positions (black symbols in the figure) to those obtained by relaxing the outermost layers of the slab (green for 1 layer and red for two layers), and keeping fixed at bulk coordinates the innermost ones. For the rigid slab model, the surface energy is largely independent from thickness and amounts to 1.75 J/m. By relaxing the outermost or the two outermost layers on both sides of the slab, the surface energies are significantly reduced to around 1.21 and 0.69 J/m, respectively.

Non-innocent adsorption of Co-pyrphyrin on rutile(110).

Solar-light driven water splitting is a promising way for the sustainable production of molecular hydrogen, the latter representing an efficient carrier for energy storage and conversion into common liquid fuels. In search of novel catalysts for high-performance water splitting devices, Co-pyrphyrin (CoPy) has been recently synthesized and successfully used as a homogeneous water reduction cata...

From porphyrins to pyrphyrins: adsorption study and metalation of a molecular catalyst on Au(111).

The molecular ligand pyrphyrin, a tetradentate bipyridine based macrocycle, represents an interesting but widely unexplored class of molecules. It resembles the well-known porphyrin, but consists of pyridyl subunits instead of pyrroles. Metal complexes based on pyrphyrin ligands have recently shown promise as water reduction catalysts in homogeneous photochemical water splitting reactions. In t...

Adsorption configurations and energetics of BClx (x=0-3) on TiO2 anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces.

This study investigates the adsorption and reactions of boron trichloride and its fragments (BClx) on the TiO2 anatase (101) and rutile (110) surfaces by first-principles calculations. The results show that the possible absorbates on the TiO2 anatase and rutile surfaces are very similar. The single- and double-site adsorption configurations are found for both anatase and rutile surfaces. The pa...

Formation of weakly bound, ordered adlayers of CO on rutile TiO2(110): a combined experimental and theoretical study.

The adsorption of CO on the rutile TiO(2)(110) surface was investigated using He atom scattering (HAS), high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), and different types of ab initio electronic structure calculations. The experimental and theoretical results allow to put forward a consistent picture for this rather complicated adsorbate syste...

Computational study of ethanol adsorption and reaction over rutile TiO2 (110) surfaces.

Studies of the modes of adsorption and the associated changes in electronic structures of renewable organic compounds are needed in order to understand the fundamentals behind surface reactions of catalysts for future energies. Using planewave density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the adsorption of ethanol on perfect and O-defected TiO(2) rutile (110) surfaces was examined. On both surf...
