Structural, Electronic and Optical Properties of S-Doped Anatase TiO2

Article Preview

Abstract:

Structural, electronic and optical properties of S-doped anatase TiO2 have been investigated using the first-principles density-functional theory. The band structure and density of states show that the band gap of anatase TiO2 narrows due to the presence of the S-3p energy level in the top of the valence bands. Compared with the optical absorption edge of the undoped anatase TiO2, the optical absorption edge of S-doped anatase TiO2 shifts to a lower energy, which indicates that S-doped anatase TiO2 can be used for visible-light absorption applications.
