Abstract:Due to their characteristic geometry, TiO 2 nanotubes (TNTs), suitably doped by metalsubstitution to enhance their photocatalytic properties, have a high potential for applications such as clean fuel production. In this context, we present a detailed investigation of the magnetic, electronic, and optical properties of transition-metal doped TNTs, based on hybrid density functional theory. In particular, we focus on the 3d, the 4d, as well as selected 5d transition-metal doped TNTs. Thereby, we are able to expl… Show more
