TLDR
The UV-vis spectra show that the Ti(3+) here extends the photoresponse of TiO(2) from the UV to the visible light region, which leads to high visible-light photocatalytic activity for the generation of hydrogen gas from water.
Abstract
Through a facile one-step combustion method, partially reduced TiO2 has been synthesized. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra confirm the presence of Ti3+ in the bulk of an as-prepared sample. The UV−vis spectra show that the Ti3+ here extends the photoresponse of TiO2 from the UV to the visible light region, which leads to high visible-light photocatalytic activity for the generation of hydrogen gas from water. It is worth noting that the Ti3+ sites in the sample are highly stable in air or water under irradiation and the photocatalyst can be repeatedly used without degradation in the activity.

Infrared Absorption of Reduced Rutile Ti O 2 Single Crystals

TL;DR: In this paper, the infrared absorption of a series of plane parallel plates having electrical resistivities ranging from 3 to 0.01 ohm-m has been examined and it is postulated that the electrical conductivity arises from the ionization of either one or two trapped electrons from each oxygen vacancy.
