Abstract
The photocatalytic activity of a series of titanium dioxides in the oxidati on of X - 3B pigment is investigated. The factors including crystallite siz e, lattice distortion and anatase content that influence the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide dispersion are discussed in detail. We propos e that lattice distortion that inhibits the hole and electron pair recombin ation dominates the above factors and to some extent determines the photoca talytic efficiency of titanium dioxide dispersions.
