RESEARCH PROGRESS IN PHOTOINDUCED SUPER HYDROPHILICITY OF TiO₂

TiO₂ is of good performance, such as chemical stability, high photocatalysis activity, and so on. The photo-induced super hydrophilicity of TiO₂ is a research focus lately. The photocatalysis mechanism of TiO₂ was presented in this paper. The effect of crystal configuration, external impurities, light and its intensity, semi-conductor dual composite on the photo-induced super hydrophilicity of TiO₂ was discussed. The industrial applications of TiO₂ were introduced.
