Titanium-Defected Undoped Anatase TiO2 with p-Type Conductivity, Room-Temperature Ferromagnetism, and Remarkable Photocatalytic Performance
Abstract
Defects are critically important for metal oxides in chemical and physical applications. Compared with the often studied oxygen vacancies, engineering metal vacancies in n-type undoped metal oxides is still a great challenge, and the effect of metal vacancies on the physiochemical properties is seldom reported. Here, using anatase TiO2, the most important and widely studied semiconductor, we demonstrate that metal vacancies (VTi) can be introduced in undoped oxides easily, and the presence of VTi results in many novel physiochemical properties. Anatase Ti0.905O2 was synthesized using solvothermal treatment of tetrabutyl titanate in an ethanol-glycerol mixture and then thermal calcination. Experimental measurements and DFT calculations on cell lattice parameters show the unstoichiometry is caused by the presence of VTi rather than oxygen interstitials. The presence of VTi changes the charge density and valence band edge of TiO2, and an unreported strong EPR signal at g = 1.998 presents under room temperature. Contrary to normal n-type and nonferromagnetic TiO2, Ti-defected TiO2 shows inherent p-type conductivity with high charge mobility, and room-temperature ferromagnetism stronger than Co-doped TiO2 nanocrystalline. Moreover, Ti-defected TiO2 shows much better photocatalytic performance than normal TiO2 in H2 generation (4.4-fold) and organics degradation (7.0-fold for phenol), owing to the more efficient charge separation and transfer in bulk and at semiconductor/electrolyte interface. Metal-defected undoped oxides represent a unique material; this work demonstrates the possibility to fabricate such material in easy and reliable way and thus provides new opportunities for multifunctional materials in chemical and physical devices.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
