Preface

Titanium dioxide plays an important role in many scientific and engineering applications, thus it is important to further explore the fundamentals and mechanisms of this useful compound.

This book focuses on recent advances and applications of titanium dioxide. It examines the compound's applications in environmental remediation, photocatalytic materials, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, thin films, energy storage, semiconductors, and much more. It is a useful resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, and students. Chapters include various illustrations and graphs to represent the information in a comprehensive manner.

I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to the contributing authors. I would also like to express my gratitude and appreciation to my beloved wife Aysha Maryam Ali for her companionship, continuous support, and patience throughout the preparation of this book.
