Chapter 1
Introduction
1.1 TiO2
In 1791, Britain's William Grigor (William Gregor) the black sands (Ilmenite, Ilmenite) to separate from the white metal oxide in the experiment was successful, in 1791, Rendezvous Road (Klaproth) the name of the metal element of titanium (Titanium) has named as temporary, it ended up being the permanent name. Titanium in Greek mythology, son of the earth "Titanic" is derived from the name.
And In 1972, Fujisima and Honda make a milestone by discovering the phonomemon of photocatlyitic water splitting on a TiO2 electrode under ultraviolet (UV) (λ<385 nm) illumination because of its semiconducting character. [1-3]

Figure. 1-1 TiO2 crystal structures rutile and anatase

TiO2 is wide band gap energy n-type semiconductor materials (Figure. 1-1 anatase 3.2 eV rutile 3.0 eV)
Especially, anatase type of TiO2 has widely received attention as a promising photocatalyst [4-7]
TiO2 (Titania) has been widely investigated due to its application prospects. It is very famous material for photocatalysis, super hydrophilic, and good wetting character.
