Influence of Coarse Aggregate Exposure on Air Purification Efficiency in Photocatalytic Cement Composites by Karol Chilmon, Maciej Kalinowski, Wioletta Jackiewicz-Rek

“…The use of hydration retarders modified the surface characteristics of the photocatalytic cement matrix, enhancing its photoactive potential. The observed decline in photocatalytic efficiency in composites with exposed coarse aggregate was attributed to the coarse aggregate’s limited ability to retain nanometric photocatalyst particles, which reduced the overall TiO₂ content in the composite’s near-surface layer. …”
