anatase

Within the work, an influence of manganese dopant on electrochemical performance of anatase titanium dioxide (Mn/Ti = 0.05; 0.1; 0.2) had been investigated. It was established that incorporation of Mn³⁺ into the TiO₂ lattice results in the formation of Ti_1 − xMn_xO₂ solid solution and increased anatase unit cell volume from 136.41 Å³ (undoped sample) to 137.25 Å³ (Mn/Ti = 0.05). The conductivity of doped TiO₂ rises up to two orders in magnitude.
