DESCRIPTION:Prof.  Annabella Selloni\, Princeton University\nTiO2-based p
 hotocatalysis for the degradation of pollutants and the splitting of water
  into H2 and O2 has been an important area of research for decades. In thi
 s talk I shall discuss recent applications of first principles electronic 
 structure calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to understand ma
 terials properties and reaction mechanisms in TiO2-based heterogeneous pho
 tocalysis. Examples will focus on the structure and reactivity of anatase 
 TiO2 aqueous interfaces\, the behavior of charge carriers at the interface
 \, and the formation and structure of so-called black TiO2\, a promising f
 unctional material capable to absorb the whole spectrum of visible light.\
