An extensive and wide-ranging literature about the polymorphs of titanium dioxide (TiO 2)
has accumulated during the last few decades, providing a very large resource of data on its
properties, functionality and many present and potential industrial uses. This review focuses
on the structural, kinetic, thermodynamic and electrical properties of TiO 2 from the viewpoint
of the relationship between the crystal structure and its present or potential useful
functionality, via the electronic structure. The reason for this focus is the fundamental …
