Investigation of band offsets of interface BiOCl:Bi2WO6: a first-principles study
Literature Information
Density functional theory calculations are performed to study the band offsets at the interface of two photocatalytic materials BiOCl:Bi2WO6. It is found that the W–O bonded interface shows the most stability. An intrinsic interface fails to enhance the charge-carrier separation due to the improper band alignment between these two materials. Sulfur (S) is proposed to replace the bulk oxygen (O) site and thus tune the band edges of BiOCl to enhance the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction. Furthermore, the presence of S provides an extra charge to generate a clean interface with minimal gap states that also benefits carrier migration across the heterojunction.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
