摘要:

水与金红石的反应性相互作用还远未得到最终的理解,这对植根于量子力学的原子模拟技术仍然是一个挑战。结果表明,TiO $_2$ /水界面的静态几何结构可以用密度泛函紧束缚理论(DFTB)进行描述.然而,这种方法需要进一步的改进,以重现低解离倾向的H $_2$ O吸附后的密度泛函理论(DFT)预测。水的表面反应性的可靠描述是研究富含Ti的(001)面的非化学计量重构的基础。基于(DFT)的计算预测的转变温度与实验结果非常一致的开始重建,并建议,这个表面,在与液态水接触,可以促进自发H $_2$ O分裂和形成H $_2$分子。

英文摘要:

Far from being conclusively understood, the reactive interaction of water with rutile does still present a challenge to atomistic modelling techniques rooted on quantum mechanics. We show that static geometries of stoichiometric TiO$_2$/water interfaces can be described well by Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB). However, this method needs further improvements to reproduce the low dissociation propensity of H$_2$O after adsorption predicted by Density Functional Theory (DFT). A reliable description of the surface reactivity of water is fundamental to investigate the non-stoichiometric reconstruction of the (001) facet rich in Ti interstitials. Calculations based on (DFT) predict the transition temperature for the onset of reconstruction in remarkable agreement with experiments and suggest that this surface, in contact with liquid water, can promote spontaneous H$_2$O splitting and formation of H$_2$ molecules.
