Using first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the advantage of using h-WO3 (and its surfaces) over the larger band gap γ-WO3 phase for the anode in water splitting. We demonstrate that h-WO3 is a good alternative anode material for optimal water splitting efficiencies.

ABSTRACTBulk Density Functional Theory calculations were performed on Hf and Zr substitutions for Al in κ-alumina. The lowest energy configuration found was an octahedrally coordinated Zr site. Zr dissolution was favorable with an enthalpy of -2eV/unit cell for forming Al1.875Zr0.125O3 from pure Zr and κ-alumina. Hf and Zr substitution for Al atoms introduced empty d-states below the conduction band edge reducing the Eg of pure κ-alumina (7.5eV) to 6.4-5.9eV. The edge of the valence band however remained fixed by the O p-state character. The substitution of Hf and Zr into the alumina structure may lead to a higher dielectric constant, but will also reduce Eg and result in a trade off in tunneling currents in devices.
