A team of researchers from TU Wien and the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Italy have developed a revolutionary technology that uses titanium oxide nanoparticles to clean walls and improve indoor air quality. The self-cleaning nanoparticles can remove up to 96% of air and wall pollutants when exposed to sunlight, potentially reducing the negative effects of poor air quality on building occupants.
The study, conducted by Professor Günther Rupprechter from TU Wien, highlights the potential of titanium oxide nanoparticles in cleaning the air. These particles have the ability to bind and decompose a wide range of pollutants, making them an effective solution for improving indoor air quality.
Lead author Qaisar Maqbool conducted a detailed investigation on the behavior of these nanoparticles when added to wall paint. The study utilized various surface and nanoparticle analysis methods to understand how the particles interact with pollutants and clean the air and walls.
Further research is planned to refine this technology and eventually make it available commercially. The goal is to develop a paint product that incorporates these self-cleaning nanoparticles to help improve indoor air quality.
