Scientific interest in TiO2-based materials has exponentially grown in the last few decades. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Its Applications introduces the main physicochemical properties of TiO2 which are the basis of its applications in various fields. While the basic principles of the TiO2 properties have been the subject of various previous publications, this book is mainly devoted to TiO2 applications.
The book includes contributions written by experts from a wide range of disciplines in order to address titanium dioxide's utilization in energy, consumer, materials, devices, and catalytic applications. The various applications identified include: photocatalysis, catalysis, optics, electronics, energy storage and production, ceramics, pigments, cosmetics, sensors, and heat transfer.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Its Applications is suitable for a wide readership in the disciplines of materials science, chemistry, and engineering in both academia and industry.

Francesco Parrino is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the
University of Trento, Italy. He graduated cum laude in Chemical
Engineering from the University of Palermo in 2005 and got a PhD in
Inorganic Chemistry from the Friedrich-Alexander University of
Erlangen–Nürnberg, Germany, in 2009. His research activity deals
with the preparation and characterization of photocatalysts for
degradation of pollutants and for green synthesis of organic
molecules. His scientific production conjugates mechanistic and
fundamental aspects of heterogeneous photocatalysis with
engineering issues for industrial applications. He has authored
approximately 80 joint papers in collaboration with scientists from
all over the world and several communications for international
conferences on these topics. Leonardo Palmisano was born in Termini
Imerese, Italy, in 1950. He obtained his B.Sc. degree in Chemistry
cum laude in
1973 from the University of Palermo. He was a full professor of
Chemistry in the Department of Engineering, University of
Palermo, since 2000, and although he has now retired, he continues
to carry out research. His scientific work mainly focuses
on heterogeneous photocatalysis, such as preparation,
characterization of many bulk and surface techniques, and
testing
of various types of bare and doped polycrystalline photocatalysts.
He has collaborated with many scientists worldwide,
producing joint papers in international journals (~350), many
scientific and didactical books, and five patents. He is
editorin-
chief of the Journal of Photocatalysis and a member of the
editorial boards of European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry,
Current Organic Chemistry, International Journal of Photoenergy,
Journal of Chemistry, and Journal of Membrane Science
& Technology.
