Application
Titanium Dioxide Nanowires (Type 2) serve a significant role in various industrial and consumer applications due to their exceptional optical and photocatalytic properties. Composed of a white, amorphous, odorless, and tasteless nonhygroscopic powder, these nanowires leverage the high refractive index and extreme brightness of titanium dioxide, enhancing their utility as opacifiers and pigments. The nanowires are particularly effective in scattering light, which can be tailored by adjusting the particle size to scatter visible or ultraviolet light, making them invaluable in applications such as coatings, cosmetics, and sunscreens. Additionally, their photocatalytic abilities enable them to facilitate reactions in dye-sensitized solar cells and environmentally beneficial chemical processes, including detoxification of wastewater and remediation of pollutants. The amalgamation of these properties positions Titanium Dioxide Nanowires (Type 2) as versatile agents in enhancing product longevity, visual appeal, and environmental cleanliness.
