采用基于色散矫正密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法, 研究石墨炔和石墨烯对TiO2光催化性能提高的机理. 通过研究发现在石墨炔-TiO2(101)复合物中, 石墨炔和TiO2(101)间相互作用较强, TiO2(101)表面上的O原子和其top位的C原子形成离域性强的C—O共价键. 电子密度, 电子差分密度和 Mulliken 电荷的计算结果显示, 石墨炔复合TiO2(101)晶面更有利于电子在界面间的转移, 并减低电子-空穴的复合率. 通过对电子结构的分析发现, 在石墨炔-TiO2(101)复合物的带隙中引入了多条杂质能级, 而石墨烯-TiO2(101)复合物的带隙中没有杂质能级的出现. 杂质能级能够为光激发时电子的跃迁提供辅助平台作用, 有利于光催化性能的提高. 同时石墨炔-TiO2(101)复合物的价带位置比石墨烯- TiO2(101)复合物更低, 说明其氧化能力更强, 有利于其光催化性能的提高.

We study mechanism for combinet graphdiyne and graphene on TiO2 which can improve the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 by density functional theory with dispersion corrections (DFT-D) methods. Because of the different lattice parameters of graphdiyne, graphene and TiO2(101), we used (1×1) graphdiyne supercell with (1×4) TiO2(101) supercell to built the graphdiyne-TiO2(101) composite, and (2×6) graphdiyne supercell with (1×5) TiO2(101) supercell to built the graphene-TiO2(101) composite. In detail, as the strong adsorption between carbon atom and the TiO2 support, numbers of new high electron delocalization C—O covalent bonds were formed by O atom in TiO2 surface and atop C atom in graphdiyne. While for the graphene-TiO2(101) composite, the equilibrium distances between graphene and TiO2 are so large that even the nearest C atoms were far as 2.869 ? to the TiO2 planes, indicating the weak interaction between graphene and TiO2 surface. The electron density, electron density difference were analyzed, the result shown that the graphdiyne combined with TiO2(101) surface is beneficial to the charge transfer. The Mulliken charge population shows that the graphdiyne or graphene surface has a positive Mulliken charge, forming large opposite interface dipole at the interface, leading to a strong built-in electric field throughout the superlattice, which can resist the possibility of electron-hole recombination. Since the magnitude of charge accumulation in graphdiyne is larger than graphene surface, stronger electrons capture ability of graphdiyne- TiO2(001) composite could be expected compared to graphene-TiO2(001) composite. The electronic band structure shown that in the graphdiyne-TiO2(101) composite, numbers of isolated energy levels were localized in the band gap which can reduce the electronic excitation energy from the isolated energy levels to the conductive band. The graphene-TiO2(101) composite had no isolated energy level appeared in the band gap. The graphdiyne-TiO2(101) composite has a lower valence band position than the graphene-TiO2(101) composite ones, means compared with graphene composite, graphdiyne composite always shows higher oxidation ability, which induce a higher photocatalytic performance.
