Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is the starting material for dielectric and piezoelectric materials such as barium titanate (BaTiO₃), lead zirconium titanate (PZT), and other titanates used in multilayer capacitors (MLCC), thermistors and piezoelectric devices.

CristalACTiV™ TiO₂ delivers the characteristics that precursors for electroceramic products need: purity, particle size, ease of milling and crystallinity.

There are many rechargeable battery chemistries available today, but none delivers the high cycle capacity, fast charge and discharge rates, and unparalleled safety characteristics at the same time. Lithium batteries with lithium titanate (LTO) anodes are much safer and provide good performances when power is needed. Titanium dioxide is the starting point material for the manufacture of LTO batteries.

Photocatalysis is the acceleration with a catalyst of a naturally occurring reaction in the presence of light, water and oxygen. When TiO₂ is exposed to UV light, free radicals are generated which facilitate reduction and oxidation reactions converting harmful materials such as nitrogen, VOC’s and organic matter into harmless substances.

CristalACTiV™ TiO₂ is the key ingredients in many self-cleaning and depolluting materials.

Access to clean water is becoming a growing societal concern. There are multiple methods to purify - drinking, municipal, waste or industrial - water today, including filtration, flocculation, absorption, biological treatment, UV treatment and photocatalysis.

In response to growing concerns about the environment, regulations on NOx emission are spreading globally. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) has been widely adopted as the best available technology to reduce NOx from both stationary and mobile sources. The most effective SCR catalysts are based on TiO₂. Tronox is a global technology leader with a complete product range of ultrafine TiO₂-based products that can be adapted to meet customer needs.

CristalACTiV™ TiO₂ based catalysts are used in numerous chemical catalysis applications. Examples include Claus catalysis which converts hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) into elemental sulfur. Another example is the use of TiO₂-based catalysts in gas-to-liquid reactions to make synthetic fuels.

Whatever the catalysis application, we have a TiO₂ to fit your specific needs.
