| Abstract | In the present paper, we examine the general applicability of different TiO2 model clusters to study of local chemical events on TiO2 sub-nanoparticles. Our previous DFT study of TiO2 activation through H adsorption and following deactivation by O2 adsorption using small amorphous Ti8O16 cluster were complemented by examination of rutile-type and spherical Ti15O30 nanoclusters. The obtained results were thoroughly compared with experimental data and results of related computational studies using other TiO2 models including periodic structures. It turned out that all considered model TiO2 model systems provide qualitatively similar results. It was shown that atomic hydrogen is adsorbed with negligible activation energy on surface O atoms, which is accompanied by the appearance of reduced Ti3+ species and corresponding localized band gap 3d-Ti states. Oxygen molecule is adsorbed on Ti3+ sites spontaneously forming molecular O2 – species by capturing an extra electron of Ti3+ ion, which results in disappearance of Ti3+ species and corresponding band gap states. Calculated g-tensor values of Ti3+ and O2 – species agree well with the results of EPR studies and do not depend on the used TiO2 model cluster. Additionally, it was shown that the various cluster calculations provide results comparable with the calculations of periodic structures with respect to the modeling of chemical processes under study. As a whole, the present study approves the validity of molecular cluster approach to study of local chemical events on TiO2 sub-nanoparticles.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
