Thermal expansion properties are investigated for Ti 2 O 3 -based sintered polycrystalline materials by controlling crystal lattice parameters and porous structures. Negative thermal expansion (NTE) is observed in a temperature range between room temperature and 593 K, and found to exceed Δ L / L = −0.7% at high temperatures, in spite of continuous increase of the unit cell volume. The temperature range for the significant NTE is successfully tuned by modifying electron-lattice-coupled phase-transition temperature. The magnitude of the NTE is enhanced upon introducing pores, indicating the importance of microstructural effect. These results demonstrate high potential of Ti 2 O 3 -based materials for practical applications.
