摘要
The band structure and photocatalytic activity of RE (La, Ce, Pr or Nd) mono-doped and RE-N co-doped SrTiO3 for band gap reduction are studied systematically using first principles calculations. Based on the evaluation methods proposed by us previously, various RE-N co-doped cases with La-N, Ce-N, Pr-N and Nd-N co-doped in SrTiO3 are studied. By comprehensive comparison, the favourable co-doping dopants are obtained and the predicted Pr-N co-doped SrTiO3 shows that it may serve as an effective potential candidate photocatalyst for water splitting under visible light among the four types of RE-N co-doped cases. In addition, the f state electrons from the RE atom may have a greater contribution to the band structure narrowing of the RE-N co-doped SrTiO3.
