Titanium dioxide is mainly used as a pigment and photocatalyst. It is possible to find it in food, cosmetics, building materials, electric devices, and others. This book contains chapters about characteristics of anatase and rutile crystallographic structure of titanium dioxide and the use of DFT method for photoactivity calculation. The book *Titanium Dioxide* contains ten chapters written by researchers and experts of the field. The book chapters are organized in four sections. Section 1 is focused on characteristics of anatase structure of TiO2. Section 2 contains chapters about rutile structure of TiO2. Section 3 presents different types of TiO2 materials. Section 4 is focused on theoretical calculation of titanium dioxide.

I hope that this book will be useful for a wide circle of people dealing with TiO2.
