TiO2 is currently the most widely used photocatalytic material. Compared with traditional building materials, TiO2-based photocatalytic building materials have unique and significant advantages, which endows them with great potential in application. By summarizing the current application and research status of photocatalytic building materials, the existing problems of photocatalytic building materials and corresponding solutions were pointed out, and current research progress of photocatalytic building materials in terms of carbon emission reduction in buildings was introduced. Finally, some prospects were made on photocatalytic building materials, which would provide a reference for the study on the next generation of photocatalytic building materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
