ABSTRACTThe electronic structure of metal impurities in III-V semiconductors are interesting because of their ability to create deep centers. We use a spin unrestricted self-consistent local density theory in a cluster model to calculate the charge distributions, one electron energy spectra and the density of states for pure InP and Pd doped InP, substituted at the In site. The pure semiconductor gap is calculated to be 1.44 eV in excellent agreement with the experimental value of 1.41 eV. A small magnetic moment of 0.561μB appears on the Pd site. The impurity introduces a levels of t2 character at 0.01 and 0.04 eV above the valence band edge.

AbstractDeveloping high-performance electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction is important for clean and sustainable hydrogen energy, yet still challenging. Herein, we report a single-atom strategy to construct excellent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalyst (NiRu0.13-BDC) by introducing atomically dispersed Ru. Significantly, the obtained NiRu0.13-BDC exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution activity in all pH, especially with a low overpotential of 36 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in 1 M phosphate buffered saline solution, which is comparable to commercial Pt/C. X-ray absorption fine structures and the density functional theory calculations reveal that introducing Ru single-atom can modulate electronic structure of metal center in the MOF, leading to the optimization of binding strength for H2O and H*, and the enhancement of HER performance. This work establishes single-atom strategy as an efficient approach to modulate electronic structure of MOFs for catalyst design.
