The structural and transport properties of polycrystalline Ti1-xPtxSe2-y (x ≤ 0.13, y ≤ 0.2) are studied, revealing highly tunable electrical properties, spanning nearly 10 orders in magnitude in scaled resistivity. Using x-ray and neutron diffraction, Pt is found to dope on the Ti site. In the absence of Pt doping (for x = 0), Se deficiency (y > 0) increases the metallic character of TiSe2, while a remarkable increase of the low temperature resistivity is favored by no Se deficiency (y = 0) and increasing amounts of doped Pt (x > 0). The chemical tuning of the resistivity in Ti1-xPtxSe2-y with Se deficiency and Pt doping results in a metal-to-insulator transition. The simultaneous Pt doping and Se deficiency (x,y > 0) confirms the competition between the two opposing trends in electrical transport, with the main outcome being the suppression of the charge density wave (CDW) transition below 2 K for y = 2x = 0.18. Band structure calculations on a subset of Ti1-xPtxSe2-y compositions are in line with the experimental observations.
