摘要:

基于密度泛函理论的CASTEP模块研究了α, β, γ, δ, εη-Bi2O3晶型, 计算分析了其几何结构、 能带结构、 电子态密度和光学性质. 结果表明, α, εη相均为层状结构, 其中, αε相为单层—Bi—O—结构, 而η相为双层—Bi—O—结构; β, γδ相为—Bim—On—交错结构, 其中δ相交错尤为密集, 呈现导体特性. 各晶相的导带均由Bi 6p态构成, 价带由O2p态起主导作用. 电势电位分析结果表明, 6种晶相价带电位均在H2O/O2之下, 具有强氧化能力, 与实验报道的光催化氧化能力大小顺序γ-Bi2O3>β-Bi2O3>α-Bi2O3>δ-Bi2O3一致, 而导带还原电位低于H2/H2O, 预测纯Bi2O3很难具备催化产氢能力. 光学性质分析发现, γδ相的起始响应波长较大, 说明其应具备红外激发的性质. 这些结果可为获得偏红外激发和较宽光谱响应的Bi2O3材料研究提供理论基础, 为研发和应用Bi2O3及其复合物提供重要的指导.

Abstract:

A theoretical investigation on the geometric structures, band structures, densities of states and optical properties of Bi2O3 in six crystalline phases(α, β, γ, δ, ε and η) was carried out using CASTEP(Cambridge Sequential Total Energy Package) module based on the density functional theory. The calculation results show that the α, ε and η phases belong to the layered structure, in which α and ε phases are —Bi—O— single-layer structure and η phase is consisted of the —Bi—O— double-layers structure, while the β, γ, and δ phases are —Bim—On— staggered structure, in which the δ phase is intensively staggered and its band structure exhibits the conductor characteristic. The conduction bands of all the six crystalline phases are mainly generated by Bi6p states, while the valence bands are contributed by O2p states. The potential of the six phases are lower than the H2O/O2, indicating that they have the higher oxidative ability, which is in good agreement with the reported experimental result(γ-Bi2O3>β-Bi2O3>α-Bi2O3>δ-Bi2O3) of the photocatalytic oxidative ability. The reduction potential of the conduction band is lower than H2/H2O, we thus speculate that pure Bi2O3 has hardly the catalytic ability of hydrogen production. The γ and δ phases have the longer initial response wavelengths, implying that they should have the infrared excitation property. Our calculations can provide basic and reliable theoretical data for the synthesis and study of Bi2O3 materials with partial infrared excitation and wide spectral response range, and afford significant guidance for the development and application in the Bi2O3-based materials.
