Used as a precursor in sol-gel processes to produce titanium dioxide (TiO₂) thin films and coatings. These coatings are applied in photocatalytic surfaces that break down organic pollutants under UV light, making them useful in self-cleaning glass and air purification systems. Also employed in the synthesis of titanium-based nanomaterials and as a crosslinking agent in the formulation of specialty ceramics and hybrid organic-inorganic materials. Its reactivity allows for low-temperature processing of titanium oxide layers, beneficial in electronics and optical devices.
