In this work, anatase Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires are synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and its grain and grain boundary behaviors and electrical properties are investigated by alternating current (AC) impedance method under high pressure (up to 34.0 GPa). The relationship between the frequency dependence of impedance Z'' and pressure indicate that the conduction mechanism of anatase phase TiO2 nanowires in the test pressure range is electronic conductivity. It should be noted that the characteristic peaks of Z'' move toward high frequency region with pressure increasing, demonstrating that the effect of grain interior on impedance becomes apparent. Additionally, the overall variation trends of grain and grain boundary resistance go downward with pressure increasing, and the descent rate of grain boundary is larger than those of grain before and after phase transition. However, in a range of phase transition (8.2–11.2 GPa, from anatase to baddeleyite phase), grain boundary resistance shows a discontinuously change (increases to 11.2 GPa and then decreases). Based on the different variation trends of grain and grain boundary resistance, it becomes obvious that the phase transition from anatase to baddeleyite phase first occurs at the surface of grain, and then extends to the interior of grain gradually. Also, as an intrinsic characteristic, the relaxation frequency is independent of the geometrical parameters. The pressure dependence of activation energy is obtained by fitting the pressure dependence of relaxation frequency. The activation energy of grain and grain boundary decrease with pressure increasing, implying that the contribution of pressure on the conductivity of sample is positive. Furthermore, the space charge potential for the whole test pressure range is positive, which is determined by the relationship between pressure and relaxation frequency. This fact illustrates that the anion defects are easily formed in the space charge region, and the oxygen defects are the main inducement for TiO2 phase transformation.
