Abstract: Zn-doped titania nanopowders was prepared by sol-gel method. Influence of the dopant on the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation of TiO2was investigated. It was found that the Zn dopant can effectively enhance the transformation by lowering the transition tem-perature. In addition, photoluminescence of gel derived TiO2nanopowders under 228 nm light excition can be observed at room temperature, and its relative luminescence intensity can be increased by doping Zn into the titania nanopowders.
