Band-Engineered Bismuth Titanate Pyrochlores for Visible Light Photocatalysis

Abstract: A density functional theory (DFT) study on stoichiometric bismuth titanate pyrochlore (Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 -BTO) is presented. Pseudopotential plane wave calculations were carried out to determine band gaps, density of states (DOS), and partial density of states (PDOS) of BTO. The theoretically determined optical property of BTO with a direct band gap of 2.6 eV corresponds to a red shift of 70 nm in absorption activity compared to titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ). A rationale has been developed to determine various possibi… Show more

“…15 For example, sillenite Bi 12 TiO 20 and perovskite-like Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 crystal structures are of particular interest because they are used in photocatalysis to degrade organic pollutants. [16][17][18][19] In addition, they are used in optoelectronic devices because of their photorefractive properties, and their high electro-optical coefficients make them applicable in the field of holographic interferometry.…”

“…Ранее с помощью ab initio расчетов были получены данные об электронной структуре и оптических свой-ствах стехиометрического Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 [1,16,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. Авторы упомянутых работ показали, что это соединение отно-сится к диэлектрикам с прямым электронным переходом и величиной запрещенной щели 2.6−2.85 eV [29,32].…”

“…Авторы упомянутых работ показали, что это соединение отно-сится к диэлектрикам с прямым электронным переходом и величиной запрещенной щели 2.6−2.85 eV [29,32]. Позже было выявлено, что при замещении части ато-мов Ti 3d-элементами (Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn и V) происходит формирование новых энергетических состояний внутри запрещенной щели и длинноволновый сдвиг в спек-трах поглощения (по сравнению со стехиометрическим Bi 2 Ti 2 O 7 ) [29].…”
