DFT calculations were performed using the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) [33,34], taking advantage of the Projected Augmented Wave (PAW) [35] method. The Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof functional was used to describe the exchange and correlation effects [36]. For all the geometry optimizations, the cutoff energy was set to 450 eV. Spin-polarization calculations were included in all cases. Singlet and triplet oxygen were modeled by controlling the numerical difference between spin-up electrons and spin-down electrons. The simulation box was constructed as a 21 Å × 22 Å × 20 Å box. The DFT calculation process was provided by the Cailiaoren APP.
