The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The intensive development of construction in recent years and the increasing demands on
the durability and service life of buildings have increasingly caused construction scientists to …

Inorganic–organic systems based on ZnO or ZnO–SiO 2 and lignin were used for the first
time to counteract the biodeterioration of cement composites. The stability of the oxide–lignin …

The urban climate is continuously deteriorating. Urban heat lowers the quality of urban life,
increases energy needs, and affects the urban socio-economy. Urban Climate Mitigation …

The self-cleaning performance of photocatalytic cement paste is related to the dispersion of
nano-TiO 2 in the hardened matrix. This work aims to study the influences of Portland …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been extensively investigated in interdisciplinary research (such
as catalysis, energy, environment, health, etc.) owing to its attractive physico-chemical …

Self-cleaning cementitious materials have gained significant attention due to urban
environmental pollution. In this study, nano-TiO2 (NT) was first mixed with cement mortar …

Passive daytime radiation refrigeration (PDRR) is a new type of refrigeration that requires no
extra energy consumption and also cools objects by reflecting radiant heat from sunlight and …

The strong agglomeration potential and poor re-dispersibility of nano TiO 2 particles in
powder form seriously affect the depollution and self-cleaning performances. The nano TiO …

In the present work, the colorful superhydrophobic coating with high solar reflectivity was
prepared using WPC (White Portland cement), color pigments, Polymethylhydrosiloxane …
