Abstract
Ab initio and density functional theory quantum chemical calculations show that both the tetrahedrally coordinated V ions and highly dispersed titanium oxide species in the V ion-implanted Ti silicalites have the tendency to locate in next-neighboring positions via the formation of a Ti-O-V linkage. The latter was found to play an important role in modifying the electronic nature of the Ti silicalite photocatalysts to enable the absorption band to shift to longer wavelength regions.
