Abstract
The present paper presents a short overview of the TiO2 coating technologies that have been applied for a variety of applications, including the formation of photocatalysts for the decomposition of water and the fabrication of antipollution building materials through functional coatings. Several coating processing procedures are outlined, including sol–gel technique, screen printing, roll on method and spraying procedure.
