Used as a white pigment in coatings, paints, and ceramics due to its high opacity and brightness. Also employed in sunscreens and cosmetics for its ability to absorb and scatter ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing effective UV protection without leaving a greasy residue. Shows photocatalytic activity under UV light, making it suitable for self-cleaning surfaces and air purification systems. Applied in electronic ceramics and sensors for its stable dielectric properties. Investigated for use in lithium-ion batteries as a component in anode materials due to its capacity to intercalate lithium ions. Exhibits good thermal stability, useful in high-temperature industrial applications such as refractories and glass manufacturing.
