Study of Titanium dioxides, have been done extensively,owing to its enthuasiastic normal properties in a field having wider domain . These fields include antibacterial agents,catalysis,photocatalysis and in civil field as nano-paints by which life quality is influenced .Hence doped TiO2 by noble metals and TiO2 are good choices in the application of performance of photocatalysis .Attractive chemical and physical features of TiO2 depends to a large extent on size, crystal phase, and particles shape. For instance, various crystalline phases of Titanium Dioxide have energy band gaps, which are distinct, rutile phase of TiO2 having 3.0 eV and anatase phase of TiO2 having band gap of 3.2 eV, actually decide the photocatalsis performance of Titanium Dioxide . Present review paper deals exhaustively with theoretical concepts and few applications pertaining to TiO2 nanoparticles structure. For environmental applications, Optical, electrical and morphological properties are making Titanium Dioxide, an ideal choice.
