  1. In this work, we performed a comprehensive first-principles investigation of the electronic structure, charge carrier relaxation dynamics, and photoluminescence properties of Rh-doped BaTiO3, with a focus on photocatalytic water splitting applications. By combining hybrid DFT (HSE06), DFT+U, and Redfield theory, we elucidated how the doping site (Ti vs. Ba), dimensionality (bulk vs. surface), and aqueous environment govern the nonequilibrium behavior of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Rh occupying Ti sites on the (001) surface exhibits a unique combination of extended visible-light absorption, ultrafast non-radiative relaxation, and efficient charge separation. These characteristics establish it as a promising photoanode material for photoelectrochemical water splitting.

  2. The optical properties of the tetragonal phase of BaTiO3have been studied using density functional methods, applying the generalized gradient approximation at room temperature and a hybrid functional for static lattice analysis.
