Mechanism of NOx Conversion Over Photocatalytic Cement

Photocatalytic materials such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂) have contributed to advances in air quality. However, the use of TiO₂ to reduce NO_x levels has raised concerns for the potential of producing undesired gasses such as nitrous oxide (N₂O), a greenhouse gas. The issue of NOx control using TiO₂ is particularly relevant given the interest in adding TiO₂ into cement for use in building construction. The current research examines the constituent(s) found in cement that may impact the production of N₂O, in order to develop a mechanism for and to gain perspective on how to avoid N₂O production.
