Editing Titanium dioxide (section)

===Other uses of titanium dioxide===
In [[ceramic glaze]]s, titanium dioxide acts as an opacifier and seeds [[crystal]] formation.

It is used as a [[tattoo]] pigment and in [[styptic pencil]]s. Titanium dioxide is produced in varying particle sizes which are both oil and water dispersible, and in certain grades for the cosmetic industry. It is also a common ingredient in toothpaste.

The exterior of the [[Saturn V]] rocket was painted with titanium dioxide; this later allowed astronomers to determine that [[J002E3]] was likely the [[S-IVB]] stage from [[Apollo 12]] and not an [[asteroid]].<ref name=Jorgensen>{{cite journal |bibcode= 2003DPS....35.3602J |last1= Jorgensen |first1= K. |last2= Rivkin |first2= A. |last3= Binzel |first3= R. |last4= Whitely |first4= R. |last5= Hergenrother |first5= C. |last6= Chodas |first6= P. |last7= Chesley |first7= S. |last8= Vilas |first8= F. |title= Observations of J002E3: Possible Discovery of an Apollo Rocket Body |journal= [[Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society]] |date= May 2003 |volume= 35 |page= 981}}</ref>

Titanium dioxide is an [[n-type semiconductor]] and is used in [[dye-sensitized solar cell]]s.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Aboulouard |first1=Abdelkhalk |last2=Gultekin |first2=Burak |last3=Can |first3=Mustafa |last4=Erol |first4=Mustafa |last5=Jouaiti |first5=Ahmed |last6=Elhadadi |first6=Benachir |last7=Zafer |first7=Ceylan |last8=Demic |first8=Serafettin |date=2020-03-01 |title=Dye sensitized solar cells based on titanium dioxide nanoparticles synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis and hydrothermal sol-gel methods: a comparative study on photovoltaic performances |journal=Journal of Materials Research and Technology |volume=9 |issue=2 |pages=1569–1577 |doi=10.1016/j.jmrt.2019.11.083 |issn=2238-7854|doi-access=free }}</ref> It is also used in other electronics components such as [[electrode]]s in batteries.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Mahmoud |first1=Zaid H. |last2=Ajaj |first2=Yathrib |last3=Kamil Ghadir |first3=Ghadir |last4=Musaad Al-Tmimi |first4=Hayder |last5=Hameed Jasim |first5=Hamza |last6=Al-Salih |first6=Moatasem |last7=Hasen shuhata Alubiady |first7=Mahmood |last8=Muzahem Al-Ani |first8=Ahmed |last9=Salih Jumaa |first9=Sally |last10=Azat |first10=Seitkhan |last11=Fadhil Smaisim |first11=Ghassan |last12=kianfar |first12=Ehsan |date=2024-01-01 |title=Carbon-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) as Li-ion battery electrode: Synthesis, characterization, and performance |journal=Results in Chemistry |volume=7 |pages=101422 |doi=10.1016/j.rechem.2024.101422 |issn=2211-7156|doi-access=free }}</ref>
