Electron–hole separation for novel composite systems comprised of secondary building units formed from different compounds is investigated with the aim of finding suitable materials for photocatalysis. Pure and mixed SOD and LTA superlattices of (ZnO)12 and (GaN)12, single-shell bubbles are constructed as well as core@shell single component frameworks composed of larger (ZnO)48 and (GaN)48 bubbles with each containing one smaller bubble. Enthalpies of formation for all systems are comparable with fullerenes. Hole and electron separation is achieved most efficiently by the edge sharing framework composed of (GaN)12@(ZnO)48 double bubbles, with the hole localised on the nitrogen within the smaller bubbles and the excited electron on zinc within the larger cages.

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.
