This interdisciplinary study synthesizes findings from diverse fields including materials science, psychology, and environmental sustainability to explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities associated with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes and social media use. In the realm of materials science, TiO2 nanotubes have garnered attention for their potential applications in sustainable energy generation, particularly in water splitting for hydrogen production. Synthesis methods such as hydrothermal synthesis and nitrogen doping have been investigated to enhance the photocatalytic performance and stability of TiO2 nanotubes. Concurrently, the proliferation of social media platforms has transformed communication patterns and behaviors worldwide, shaping individuals' interactions, perceptions, and mental health outcomes. While social media offers opportunities for connectivity and self-expression, excessive use has been associated with adverse mental health outcomes, including symptoms of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. Additionally, social media engagement has been linked to body image dissatisfaction, sleep disturbances, and academic performance, highlighting the complex interplays between online behaviors and psychological well-being. This study integrates insights from a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature, encompassing experimental research, observational studies, and survey-based investigations. The synthesis underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and targeted interventions to address the complex societal challenges posed by TiO2 nanotubes and social media use. Recommendations include further research to optimize synthesis methods, enhance regulatory oversight, and promote responsible digital citizenship. By fostering dialogue and collaboration between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, this study aims to inform evidence-based interventions and policy initiatives to promote sustainability, well-being, and equity in the digital age.
