Abstract

We perform first-principles calculations to study the electronic structures and optical properties of rutile SnNxO2-x as a possible photocatalytic material. It is found that N incorporation lead to the enhancement of p states in the energy gap and the decrease of band gap. The optical transition between N p and O p enhances and shifts to high energy range with increasing N concentrations. The calculations for the optical properties also predict a possible optimum N-doping level in SnO2 with a high visible photoresponse and as a photocatalytic material.
