Abstract

Design of novel photocatalyst through native defect and doping is a simple and effective approach to improve its performance in photocatalytic reaction, such as solar-driven hydrogen production. In this work, we present first-principles calculations on The engineering of The electronic structure of BaTiO by creating defects and introducing dopants for its application in photocatalytic water-splitting. We show that native vacancies may change its conducting character, but is difficult to reduce its band gap. The reduction of band gap can be achieved by hydrogenation at high density and N substitution of oxygen, resulting in enhanced sun-light absorption. We further show that intermediate bands are created by substituting Ba with NH-pair and inserting interstitial N. These intermediate bands play an important role in The visible-light absorption. We expect that BaTiO with band structure modified by hydrogenation, N-doping, and NH-codoping can be applicable in solar-energy harvesting with improved efficiency.
