This study introduces a novel approach to fabricating potassium-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes through an in-situ calcination process. This method, which has not been explored extensively in the past, holds significant promise for nanotechnology. Potassium doping into TiO2 nanotubes can modify their electronic structure, potentially enhancing their photocatalytic properties and efficiency in solar energy conversion. We utilized X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to explore the morphological and structural characteristics of the synthesized nanotubes. Additionally, we analyzed the optical properties through UV–Vis spectroscopy using the diffuse reflectance mode (DRS). The absorption spectra and bandgap underwent significant changes, as seen by the DRS results that are briefly discussed in this paper. It is confirmed that potassium-doped TiO2 nanotubes are a promising photocatalyst for use in the future by the absorption band edge falling in the visible range.
