Dear all,
I'm studying the water splitting behavior on certain surfaces. And I have
identified a special structural features of the surface for water
dissociation.
But I can't tell why that kind of feature did a positive effect on water
dissociation. One visitor to our group thought this behavior has a strong
dependence of molecular hybrid orbitals of atoms near the surface.
>From a Structural
Chemistry viewpoint, certain atomic structure could result in different
hybrid styles of molecular orbitals. The feature I identified may have a
favorable shape of hybrid orbitals for water approaching and dissociating.
I wonder whether QE has a function for ploting the shape of hybrid molecular
orbitals near the surface.
thank you for reading
best,
vega
