Titania nanoparticles, also known as titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties and diverse applications. From photocatalytic water purification to enhanced sunscreen of cosmetics, these nanoparticles are revolutionizing various industries. Alpha Lifetech Inc., a nanomaterials manufacturer, is committed to providing high-quality titania nanoparticles to meet the growing demand for these advanced materials.
Introduction to Titania Nanoparticles
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, also called ultrafine titanium dioxide, nanocrystalline titanium dioxide or microcrystalline titanium dioxide, are particles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with diameters less than 100 nm. It is the second most advertised nanomaterial in consumer products, behind silver nanoparticles. Because TiO2 has been used as a commodity chemical for a long time, it can be regarded as a "legacy nanomaterial." The sulfate process synthesizes most manufactured nanoscale titanium dioxide, the chloride process or the sol-gel process.

Applications of Titania Nanoparticles
Titania nanoparticles have various applications across various industries owing to their unique properties, including photocatalytic activity, biocompatibility and high refractive index.
--Photocatalysis and Environmental Remediation
One of the most well-known applications of titania nanoparticles is photocatalysis, which can degrade organic pollutants and inactivate harmful microorganisms under ultraviolet (UV) light. This property has led to their applications in environmental remediation, such as air and water purification and self-cleaning surfaces.
--Energy and Solar Cells
Titania nanoparticles are also used in the energy field, particularly in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Due to their high surface area and excellent electron transport properties, titania nanoparticles can improve the efficiency of light absorption and charge separation in DSSCs.
--Biomedical Applications
In the biomedical field, titania nanoparticles have been explored for various applications, including drug delivery, bioimaging and antibacterial coatings. Their biocompatibility and ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under UV light suit these applications.
--Antibacterial properties
Titania nanoparticles show antibacterial properties under UV light irradiation, making them suitable for various antimicrobial applications.
