Description
This paper reviews recent investigations of the influence of dopants on the optical properties of TiO2 polymorph. The common undoped polymorph of TiO2 are discussed and compared. The results of recent doping efforts are tabulated, and discussed in the context of doping by elements of the same chemical group. Dopant effects on the band gap and photo catalytic activity are interpreted with reference to a simple qualitative picture of the TiO2 electronic structure, which is supported with first-principles calculations.
