Analyzing Interpolation Distances in Photocatalytic Materials

by Photosynthesis Technology: It's not just for plants! October 8th, 2024

Too Long; Didn't Read

This appendix presents supplementary material related to our research on photocatalytic water-splitting materials, detailing hybrid compound enumeration, interpolation distance analysis, pricing calculations for final structures, and additional data on candidate compounds. These insights enhance the understanding of our innovative materials design process and its implications for artificial photosynthesis technology.

Appendix: Supplementary Material

1. Hybrid Compound Enumeration and Max Unit Cell Size

2. Interpolation Distance Analysis

The four highest φox compounds with low-Eg and high-Eg, respectively are Ag2Te, Ag2Se, PbSe, and PbTe; and AgBr, TiO2, AgCl, and CuCl, ordered by their total interpolation distance. These eight account for nearly 70% of interpolation distance. SnO2, Cu2S, and PbS also make significant, albeit lesser contributions to interpolation.

3. Miscellaneous Additional Candidate Compound Data

4. Price Calculation

We estimated a price (USD/kg) for final structures in Table III by performing a weighted sum of component elements prices. The component elements prices were weighted by fractional composition of the final structures. These elemental prices were found in technical reports.27–31
