General description

Titanium(IV) oxide, mixture of rutile and anatase (TiO2) nanopowder is a photocatalytic material with anatase and rutile as the crystalline phases. The two minerals are utilized in photocatalysis due to their efficient charge separation across phase junctions.[1][2]

Application

Photoelectrodes of varying properties can be made using colloidal suspensions of titanium(IV) oxide nanoparticles.[3]
TiO2 can be used in a variety of medical implants, such as dental implants, spinal fixations, and joint replacements.[4] It can also be used in a stable colloidal solution for the formation of RPMI cell culture medium.[5] It forms a conductive layer in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells.[6]
