description Y(Mn<sub>0.95</sub>M<sub>0.05</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (M = Al, Fe, Ga, Ti, and Zr) samples were synthesized via a sol–gel method using citric acid to find a new near-infrared (NIR) reflective black pigment. Among these samples, the optical reflectance of Y(Mn<sub>0.95</sub>Fe<sub>0.05</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> and Y(Mn<sub>0.95</sub>Ga<sub>0.05</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> in the near-infrared region was found to be larger than that of YMn<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>. Then, the concentration of the dopant (Fe or Ga) was changed between 0 and 15%, and the resulting UV–Vis–NIR reflectance spectra were measured. As a result, the optical reflectance of the Fe-doped samples decreased in the near-infrared region, while that of the Ga-doped samples increased. Accordingly, Y(Mn<sub>1<i>−x</i></sub>Ga<i><sub>x</sub></i>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (0 ≤ <i>x</i> ≤ 0.20) samples were synthesized, and the crystal structure, particle size, optical properties, and color of the samples were characterized. The single-phase samples were obtained in the composition range of 0 ≤ <i>x</i> ≤ 0.15, and the lattice volume decreased with increasing Ga<sup>3+</sup> concentration. Optical absorption below 850 nm was attributed to the charge transfer transition between O<sub>2p</sub> and Mn<sub>3d</sub> orbitals, and the absorption wavelength of Y(Mn<sub>1<i>−x</i></sub>Ga<i><sub>x</sub></i>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> shifted to the shorter wavelength side as the Ga<sup>3+</sup> content increased, because of the decrease in the Mn<sup>3+</sup> concentration. Although the sample color became slightly reddish black by the Ga<sup>3+</sup> doping, the solar reflectance in the near-infrared region reached 47.6% at the composition of Y(Mn<sub>0.85</sub>Ga<sub>0.15</sub>)<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>. Furthermore, this NIR reflectance value was higher than those of the commercially available products (<i>R</i> < 45%).
