TiO₂ (titanium dioxide)

All products: TiO₂, Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, ZrO₂, ITO, CeZrO₄

TiO₂ nanofiberous material posseses the well-known material characteristics of titania and synergistic properties of nano-fibrous structure. These include the high collision factor TiO₂ surface vs. fluid media as well as high accessibility of the surface of titania nanofibres. Added to this is the lower inner electrical resistance between crystallites inside of the nanofiber in comparison to classical powder or nanopowder shaped titania. The above mentioned characteristics destine titania nanofibrous material to improve conventional titania-based products such as DSSCs, photocatalytic purifiers, cosmetics, gas sensors etc.
