Description: The electrochemical behavior of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) in aqueous lithium hydroxide (LiOH) electrolyte has been investigated. Cyclic voltammetry shows that electroreduction results in the formation of a number of products. X-ray diffraction of the electroreduced TiO₂ shows that Liₓ TiO₂, Ti₂O₃, Ti₂O and TiO are formed. The formation of Liₓ TiO₂ is confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) studies of the electroreduced TiO₂. The formation of Liₓ TiO₂ is electro reversible. In this respect, the electrochemical behavior of TiO₂ in concentrated aqueous lithium hydroxide electrolyte is similar to that for lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄) non-aqueous media.
