Titanium dioxide (M-TiO2), which was doped with 13 different metal ions (i.e., silver (Ag+), rubidium (Rb+), nickel (Ni2+), cobalt (Co2+), copper (Cu2+), vanadium (V3+), ruthenium (Ru3+), iron (Fe3+), osmium (Os3+), yttrium (Y3+), lanthanum (La3+), platinum (Pt4+, Pt2+), and chromium (Cr3+, Cr6+)) at doping levels ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 at. %, was synthesized by standard sol−gel methods and characterized by X-ray diffraction, BET surface area measurement, SEM, and UV−vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Doping with Pt(IV/II), Cr(III), V(III), and Fe(III) resulted in a lower anatase to rutile phase transformation (A−R phase transformation) temperature for the resultant TiO2 particles, while doping with Ru(III) inhibited the A−R phase transformation. Metal-ion doping also resulted in a red shift of the photophysical response of TiO2 that was reflected in an extended absorption in the visible region between 400 and 700 nm. In contrast, doping with Ag(I), Rb(I), Y(III), and La(III) did not result in a red s...
