Abstract

Nanostructure materials have received significant attention in recent years due to the unique properties and potential applications in various fields. Among these materials, titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based materials have proven promising due to outstanding mechanical, electrical, and catalytic properties. Therefore, this research aimed to offer a comprehensive overview of synthesis and photocatalytic applications of TiO2-based nanostructure materials derived from ilmenite mineral. Furthermore, the pretreatment process of ilmenite mineral using mechanical activation was explored. Various synthetic routes, such as liquid-based, residue-based, and direct ilmenite-based approaches, were also discussed and the advantages and limitations of the routes were explained. In addition, the research included a comparative analysis of the properties of TiO2-based nanostructure materials derived from ilmenite mineral with the commercial in terms of crystallinity, composition, morphology, and selected optical properties. The article concluded with a discussion of the challenges and prospects for using nanostructure materials based on TiO2 from ilmenite mineral. This research served as a valuable resource for explorers and scientists working on nanostructure materials and provides insight into the sustainable use of natural resources for synthesis of advanced TiO2-based materials with shaped properties.
