- Quantum chemical calculations for two TiO2 nanoparticle cluster models (rutile–(TiO2)n with n = 20, and anatase–(TiO2)n with n = 92), selected to represent different nanoparticle size regimes, are used to elucidate structural influences on the electronic properties. Structural and electronic properties were obtained using a variety of computational methods and structure optimisation schemes, including a comparison of results for several different density functional theory functionals, as well as complementary Hartree–Fock and semi-empirical calculations. The results demonstrate a strong dependence of electronic properties, such as the optical band gap of importance for photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic applications, on the structure of the nanocrystal. From a methodological point of view, the calculations also provide useful information of broader significance about the viability of different computational schemes to efficiently obtain reliable computational results for intrinsically nanostructured materials.
