Abstract: Titanium dioxide (TiO2) presents particular importance, due to its general properties in a wide range of fields, such as catalysis, photocatalysis and antibacterial agents and as nano-paint (self-cleaning).Physical and chemical characteristics of TiO2, particle size and shape, phases of crystalline TiO2 with band gaps that rutile TiO2 of 3.0 eV and anatase TiO2 of 3.2 eV, determine the photocatalytic performance of TiO2.This review presents the theoretical concepts of the structure properties of this oxide and the elaboration methods that make TiO2 the ideal candidate for catalytic applications.
