Using density functional theory calculations with HSE 06 functional, we obtained the structures of spin-polarized radicals on rutile TiO2(110), which is crucial to understand the photooxidation at the atomic level, and furthermore the thermodynamic stability of the radicals and their promotion effect on water photooxidation are also investigated.

Spin-polarized DFT calculations were used to investigate the atomic, electronic structures of LaCoO3and La1−xSrxCoO3surfaces. The thermodynamic stability of these surfaces was analyzed with phase diagrams. Influence of Sr-doping was also examined.

While they are often thought to be a heuristic construct, it has been established that this is in fact not the case. Here, we present a rigorous and formally exact generalized Kohn-Sham (GKS) density functional theory of hybrid functionals, in which exact remainder exchange-correlation potentials combine with a fraction of Fock exchange to produce the correct ground state density. Specifically, we generalize the well-known adiabatic con- nection theorem to the case of exact hybrid functional theory and use it to provide a rigorous distinction between multiplicative exchange and correlation components. We examine the exact theory by inverting reference electron densities to obtain exact GKS potentials for hybrid functionals, showing that an equivalent description of the many-electron problem is obtained with any arbitrary global fraction of Fock exchange. We establish the dependence of these exact components on the fraction of Fock exchange and use the observed trends to shed new light on the results of approximate hybrid functional calculations.</p>

Hybrid functionals have proven to be of immense practical value in density functional theory calculations. While they are often thought to be a heuristic construct, it has been established that this is in fact not the case. Here, we present a rigorous and formally exact analysis of generalized Kohn-Sham (GKS) density functional theory of hybrid functionals, in which exact remainder exchange-correlation potentials combine with a fraction of Fock exchange to produce the correct ground state density. First, we extend formal GKS theory by proving a generalized adiabatic connection theorem. We then use this extension to derive two different definitions for a rigorous distinction between multiplicative exchange and correlation components - one new and one previously postulated. We examine their density-scaling behavior and discuss their similarities and differences. We then present a new algorithm for obtaining exact GKS potentials by inversion of accurate reference electron densities and employ this algorithm to obtain exact potentials for simple atoms and ions. We establish that an equivalent description of the many-electron problem is indeed obtained with any arbitrary global fraction of Fock exchange and we rationalize the Fock-fraction dependence of the computed remainder exchange-correlation potentials in terms of the new formal theory. Finally, we use the exact theoretical framework and numerical results to shed light on the exchange-correlation potential used in approximate hybrid functional calculations and to assess the consequences of different choices of fractional exchange.<br><br>

Lanthanum ferrite (LaFeO3) is a technologically important electrode material for nickel–metal hydride batteries, energy storage and catalysis. In the present study, we have employed spin-polarized density functional theory calculations, with the Hubbard U correction (DFT+U), to unravel the adsorption mechanism of H2 on the LaFeO3(010) surface.
