Photocatalytic water splitting is one of the methods to produce hydrogen fuel by reducing the water into the oxygen and hydrogen provided that the bandgap of one catalyst is larger than +1.23 eV. In this paper, based on density functional theory, we investigated the structural, electronic and optica...
