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.

Application

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

Dye-sensitized solar cells directly convert sunlight to electricity

Over the last decade, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted much attention because these unconventional solar cells exhibit high performance and have the potential for low-cost production.

One of the more traditional photovoltaic devices, single crystalline silicon solar cells were invented more than 50 years ago, currently make up 94% of the market. Single crystalline silicon solar cells operate on the principle of p-n junctions formed by joining p-type and n-type semiconductors.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an important n-type semiconducting material that shows interesting characteristics such as photoswitchable surface wettability, high photocatalytic activity, bistable electrical resistance states and high electron drift mobility.
