    Abstract
    The Fe, Co, and Ni-doped TiO2 were synthesised by sol–gel process, and the nanomaterials were coated on electrodes through a slurry with Nafion. This study aims to use prepared nanoparticles of Fe, Co, and Ni-doped TiO2 to enhance the photo-electrocatalytic conversion of CO2. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and electrochemical analyses were utilized to characterise the doped and undoped TiO2 nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed that the nanomaterials had an average size below 20 nm. Tauc plot analysis for optical absorption studies shown a reduction in band gap when doped with Fe, Co and Ni, with the most significant decrease observed for Fe-doped TiO2, following the order Fe < Co < Ni. Electrochemical CO2 conversion efficiencies were investigated through cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (ESI), and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) studies. The results were analysed based on various scan rates and photo exposure, indicating superior performance for Fe-TiO2, aligning with the observed band gap trends. Gas chromatography (GC) analysis of the reduction products revealed the generation of hydrocarbons, with Fe-TiO2 exhibiting the most favourable outcomes. This research provides valuable insights into tailoring TiO2 nanoparticles for efficient photo-electro catalytic reduction of CO2.
