--- _id: '19189' abstract: - lang: eng text: Density-functional theory calculations of (TiO2)n clusters (n = 1–5) in the gas phase and adsorbed on pristine graphene as well as graphene quantum dots are presented. The cluster adsorption is found to be dominated by van der Waals forces. The electronic structure and in particular the excitation energies of the bare clusters and the TiO2/graphene composites are found to vary largely in dependence on the size of the respective constituents. This holds in particular for the energy and the spatial localization of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals. In addition to a substantial gap narrowing, a pronounced separation of photoexcited electrons and holes is predicted in some instances. This is expected to prolong the lifetime of photoexcited carriers. Altogether, TiO2/graphene composites are predicted to be promising photocatalysts with improved electronic and photocatalytic properties compared to bulk TiO2. article_type: original author: - first_name: Sabuhi full_name: Badalov, Sabuhi id: '78800' last_name: Badalov orcid: 0000-0002-8481-4161 - first_name: René full_name: Wilhelm, René last_name: Wilhelm - first_name: Wolf Gero full_name: Schmidt, Wolf Gero id: '468' last_name: Schmidt orcid: 0000-0002-2717-5076 citation: ama: Badalov S, Wilhelm R, Schmidt WG.
