摘要:

由于其化学和物理性质的多功能性,过渡金属钙钛矿氧化物已成为一类新的高效光催化剂,用于光电化学水裂解。在这里,要了解的基本机制,增强光电化学水分裂混合钙钛矿,我们探索理想的外延薄膜的BiFeO 3-SrTiO 3系统。电子结构和载流子动力学由实验和密度泛函理论计算确定。在这个理想的系统中测量的内在现象,对比通常研究的多晶固溶体,外在的结构特征掩盖了内在的现象。我们确定,当SrTiO 3添加到BiFeO 3的导带的最低位置被提高,并从杂化的Ti 3d和Fe 3d轨道的陷阱态的指数尾出现在导带边缘附近。这些陷阱态的存在强烈抑制了快速的电子-空穴复合,并提高了在可见光区的光电流密度,高达16倍,在0 VRHE相比,纯端成员组合物。我们的工作为优化混合钙钛矿氧化物的光电化学性能提供了一种新的设计方法。

英文摘要:

Owing to the versatility in their chemical and physical properties, transition metal perovskite oxides have emerged as a new category of highly efficient photocatalysts for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Here, to understand the underlying mechanism for the enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting in mixed perovskites, we explore ideal epitaxial thin films of the BiFeO3-SrTiO3 system. The electronic struture and carrier dynamics are determined from both experiment and density-functional theory calculations. The intrinsic phenomena are measured in this ideal sytem, contrasting to commonly studied polycrstalline solid solutions where extrinsic structural features obscure the intrinsic phenomena. We determined that when SrTiO3 is added to BiFeO3 the conduction band minimum position is raised and an exponential tail of trap states from hybridized Ti 3d and Fe 3d orbitals emerges near the conduction band edge. The presence of these trap states strongly suppresses the fast electron-hole recombination and improves the photocurrent density in the visible-light region, up to 16 times at 0 VRHE compared to the pure end member compositions. Our work provides a new design approach for optimising the photoelectrochemical performance in mixed perovksite oxides.
