Abstract
This chapter begins with the introduction of the essential factors for practical functional materials. TiO2 has been mainly used as a pigment for a long time and is now highlighted and uniquely used as a practical photocatalyst. The manufacturing process and the history of TiO2 developments are briefly reviewed. Then TiO2 is reviewed in terms of the characteristics and crystal structures and compared to those for the other popular photocatalyst, ZnO. Finally, the history in the field of science and engineering related to photocatalysis is briefly reviewed from the light illumination effect on electrodes of various materials to the recent developments in solar cells.
