The Thermodynamic Stability, Electronic and Photocatalytic Properties of the ZnWO4(100) Surface as Predicted by Screened Hybrid Density Functional Theory.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Zinc tungstate (ZnWO4) is an outstanding photocatalyst for water splitting and organic contaminant degradation under visible light irradiation. Surface termination stabilities are significant for understanding the photochemical oxidation and reactions on the ZnWO4 surface. Based on density functional theory, we calculated the thermodynamic stability of possible surface terminations for ZnWO4(100). The surface stability phase diagrams show that the Zn2O4-Zn8W6O28, W2O4-Zn8W10O36, and Zn2-Zn8W6O24 terminations of ZnWO4(100) can be stabilized under certain thermodynamic equilibrium conditions.
