TiOx
TiOx refers to a family of titanium oxide materials. The most common and well-known form is titanium dioxide, TiO2, which exists in several crystalline polymorphs including rutile, anatase, and brookite. Titanium dioxide is a white, opaque solid with a high refractive index, making it a widely used pigment in paints, plastics, paper, and cosmetics. It is also a semiconductor with photocatalytic properties, meaning it can catalyze chemical reactions when exposed to light. This property has led to its use in applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, air and water purification systems, and solar cells.
Other titanium oxides exist, though they are less common. For instance, titanium monoxide (TiO) is a gray
