Abstract

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) doped with sulfur (S) was synthesized by oxidation annealing of titanium disulfide (TiS₂). According to the x-ray diffraction patterns, TiS₂ turned into anatase TiO₂ when annealed at 600°C. The residual S atoms occupied O-atom sites in TiO₂ to form TiS bonds. The S doping caused the absorption edge of TiO₂ to be shifted into the lower-energy region. Based on the theoretical analyses using ab initio band calculations, mixing of the S3p states with the valence band was found to contribute to the band gap narrowing.
