A new study published on phys.org highlights the development of titanium oxide nanoparticles that can clean walls and improve indoor air quality when added to paint. These nanoparticles were created by a research team from TU Wien and the Università Politecnica delle Marche in Italy. When mixed with standard paint, the nanoparticles use sunlight to activate their self-cleaning properties, breaking down pollutants from the air and walls.
The study shows that titanium oxide nanoparticles are particularly useful for this application due to their ability to bind and break down a wide range of pollutants. Detailed analysis was conducted on the particles and their behavior before and after being added to wall paint, revealing that 96% of air and wall pollutants can be removed by exposing them to simple sunlight with the help of these nanoparticles. Further research is planned with the goal of creating a commercially available paint product using this technology.
