In this chapter, the literature associated to the sensitization of TiO2 by modification with dyes (point 7) will be reviewed, including reactions leading to the transformation of dyes themselves, of colorless pollutants, and hydrogen production, with emphasis on the involved mechanisms. Additionally, the field of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) will be briefly addressed.
