Clar’s Goblet on Graphene: Field-Modulated Charge Transfer in a Hydrocarbon Heterostructure
In certain configurations, the aromatic properties of benzene ring structured molecules allow for unpaired, reactive valence electrons (known as radicals). Clar’s goblets are such molecules. With an even number of unpaired radicals, these nanographenes are topologically frustrated hydrocarbons in which π-bonding network and topology of edges give rise to the magnetism. Clar’s goblets are therefore valued as prospective qubits provided they can be modulated between magnetic states. Here, using first-principles DFT, we demonstrate the effects of adsorption on both molecule and substrate in a graphene–Clar’s goblet heterostructure. We look at the energy difference bewteen FM and AFM states of the system and discuss underlying physical and chemical mechanisms in reference to the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and second HOMO (HOMO–1). We find that the HOMO of the molecule in the FM state is right at the Fermi surface, which leads to the hybridization between molecular state and the graphene state near the Dirac point. Furthermore, we investigate qualitative changes in charge realignment and magnetic state under a variable electric field. Transitions from FM to AFM and back to FM states are observed.
Nanoscale Measurements of Charge Transfer at Cocatalyst/Semiconductor Interfaces in BiVO 4 Particle Photocatalysts
Semiconductor photocatalyst particles convert solar energy to fuels like H 2 . The particles are often assumed to provide crystalline-facet-dependent electron-hole separation. A common strategy is to deposit HER electrocatalyst on electron-selective facets and OER electrocatalyst on hole-selective facets. A precise understanding of how charge-carrier-selective contacts emerges and how they rationally designed, however, is missing. Using a combination of ex-situ and in-situ conducting-AFM experiments and new ionomer/catalyst-semiconductor test structures, we show how heterogeneity in charge-carrier selectivity can be measured at the nanoscale. We discover that the presence of interface water/electrolyte is critical to induce hole selectivity between the CoO x water-oxidation catalyst and the BiVO 4 light absorber. pH-dependent measurements suggest that negative surface charge on the semiconductor is central to inducing hole selectivity. Furthermore, the work also demonstrates a new approach to control local pH and introduce water using thin-film ionomers compatible with conductive-AFM measurements.
