Solar Water Splitting

Using first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the advantage of using h-WO3 (and its surfaces) over the larger band gap γ-WO3 phase for the anode in water splitting. We demonstrate that h-WO3 is a good alternative anode material for optimal water splitting efficiencies.

ABSTRACTBulk Density Functional Theory calculations were performed on Hf and Zr substitutions for Al in κ-alumina. The lowest energy configuration found was an octahedrally coordinated Zr site. Zr dissolution was favorable with an enthalpy of -2eV/unit cell for forming Al1.875Zr0.125O3 from pure Zr and κ-alumina. Hf and Zr substitution for Al atoms introduced empty d-states below the conduction band edge reducing the Eg of pure κ-alumina (7.5eV) to 6.4-5.9eV. The edge of the valence band however remained fixed by the O p-state character. The substitution of Hf and Zr into the alumina structure may lead to a higher dielectric constant, but will also reduce Eg and result in a trade off in tunneling currents in devices.

While density functional theory (DFT) allows accurate quantum mechanical simulations from first principles in molecules and solids, commonly used exchange-correlation density functionals provide a very incomplete description of dispersion interactions. One way to include such interactions is to augment the DFT energy expression by damped London energy expressions. Several variants of this have been developed for this task, which we discuss and compare in this paper. We have implemented these schemes in the ONETEP program, which is capable of DFT calculations with computational cost that increases linearly with the number of atoms. We have optimized all the parameters involved in our implementation of the dispersion correction, with the aim of simulating biomolecular systems. Our tests show that in cases where dispersion interactions are important this approach produces binding energies and molecular structures of a quality comparable with high-level wavefunction-based approaches.
